When 'Reputable' Isn't Enough…read more I purchased four 450R engines from a shop in Florida, each with around 500 hours. Since I don't live in the U.S. and the engines were exported, I wasn't able to inspect them personally. I had a friend take a quick look, but I did not carry out a full survey as I normally would. Given that the seller is a reputable shop and assured me the engines had just been serviced and were in perfect condition, I proceeded with the purchase without a detailed inspection. Now that the engines have arrived here, we removed the cowling on one unit that suffered minor transport damage to assess what parts might be needed. However, the first thing we noticed upon opening it was the condition of the hardware: many of the screws are heavily corroded--so much so that in several cases it's nearly impossible to remove them using standard methods. When I raised this with the seller, their response was that this is "absolutely normal" and that all engines look like this. This is coming from an authorized Mercury Tech who claimed the engines had just been serviced and were in perfect condition.

Alfonso agreed to perform work at a specific rate, then over billed for the work. After bring called on it he said it was an accident and submitted a modified invoice; still several hours more than actually worked. He said that he had to run around Fort Lauderdale looking for supplies and charged 7 man hours for two people riding around when a quick internet search and phone call would take care of it. To top it off he held my credit card on file when he was expressly forbidden to do it and then made a fraudulent charge to the card after I told him not to. Avoid this guy like the plague.

I've had my bottom cleaned by Fonz's for over a year now and had a compound and wax done about 4 months ago. On haul out, the insurance surveyor actually made a point to ask who was doing my hull cleanings since they weren't adequately removing the growth around any of the thrusters. Then when I mentioned I had compounded and waxed the boat 4 months ago, everybody asked me who the heck did such a poor job. 2 guys that work for a competitor in South Florida even went as far as to say it's the worst detail job they've ever seen after 4 months. All agreed that poor quality materials were used and this was most likely not a 2 step compound and wax, but rather a single step cleaner wax that does a little of each step, but poorly on both. The boat has hazing all over it and I'm now getting quotes to have the job completely re-done from the beginning. All my efforts to resolve this with Alfonzo were ignored or I was blow off. This is the downside of being a ways away, companies like Fonz's take advantage and screw you. Steer clear of these guys. Better companies out there that do much better quality work.
