Are we getting ripped off or what!!!!!

Hey All,

I was looking on the net and came across a website for an Indonesian Company

selling outboards, the prices are in US dollars and are ridiculously low. The website

is www.outboardengine.co.id 

I understand that you would not have a warranty if purchased for a local boat, however

for the prices that they are selling them for you could pretty much buy a new engine every 3-4 years.

 

The warranties being offered within indonesia seem to be equivelant to local warranties.

Are we getting ripped off or what????

Has anyone purchased one and fitted it up locally?

 

Food for thought.

As pricey has said it does look like a scam, but hey for the prices being offered

you could fly over, purchase the item and take delivery to make sure that you get the

outboard.

 

Heres another site that looks legit.
