Has anyone had any dealings with Marine Outlet Center in Sarasota?

And if so, good or bad experience? The fella we are dealing with is Chuck MacFarlane. 24' WELLCRAFT XL 1997 c/w 200 Johnson Ocean Runner OB. $10K on a tandem trailer.

I just want to be sure this is an OK place PRIOR to a buddy dropping a small load of coin there.

Thanx :)

I can't tell you anything about the dealer, but I can tell you that in my (one) dealing with Johnson OceanRunner's (a pair of them mounted on a slightly larger Wellcraft walk-around) they were cold-natured smoky SOB's. Granted, I had no knowledge of that boat's maintenance history. They ran fine once warm, but killed every 'skeeter within 100 yards on start-up.

Lenny, the $$$$$ seems way high to me... I don't see any pic's on their website either..

my '97 225 Ocean Runners smoked as well, but damn did they make torque... :yes:
