I have not had the pleasure (nor do I hope to) to deal with Marine Max service but I can tell you the sales side sure sucks!! Especially Marine Max Long Island, bunch of lying crooks.
I know what you are saying about finding a different boat but I really think if the broker would have done his job the sale probably could have been completed. The seatrial was a $hit show from the start. I traveled 15hrs for the sea trial, hired a captain, had my diesel engine tech there and my...
Well, after many weeks of planning and finally able to do a sea trial on a 510 Sea Ray I had to walk away. I may not be a Sea Ray owner yet but I still enjoy reading all the Sea Ray threads.
My search continues. :(
It would be a fun trip to make if you had the time to do it.

They charge 125.00 per hour and quoted me 48 man hours to remove top, that does not include haul...
As the boat sat on blocks it was over 16' to the hard top. It was about 8" off the ground.
I think taking off the hard top and leaving the windshield it will still be close.
I am planning for the purchase of a 510 Sundancer. I have a sea trial scheduled May 31st.
I have called a couple east coast marinas to get quotes to prep for transport back to Midwest via semitruck. I am finding prices are about 3X what they are here in the Midwest.
1 of the quotes I am having a...
