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
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.

outboard.
Heres another site that looks legit.
