rapido marine

has anyone purchased a motor from rapido marine? if so was it worth the money? how long have you run the motor? i am in need of a 350 for my boat and just want to know if there is any one else that i can go through that is as good or better and is still cheap enough that i can afford it?

Re: rapido marine

I believe members erikgreen and freebeetony purchased engines from Rapido. They both have extensive threads in the Mercruiser, Volvo and I/O forum. Just do a search and you will find their threads from this past summer.

It looks like a good company that does provide good value and reasonable shipping. Pretty tough to beat these days.

Re: rapido marine

theres a bunch of threads posted about them, do a search. some are good and some are bad. 1 guy had a bought a 350 long block and it came with 305 heads on it... if he had not noticed he would have gotten it all together and smoked it in a matter of hours. now who would have paid for that? you get what you pay for my friend. it's buyer beware... and do as much homework as you can.
