Reviews for Toni Marine Sales & Serv Inc
I can't believe I am the first to write a review about Tony Marine. My experience exceeds the maximum number of stars I can give for their service to us. My fishing partner and I found them by accident while searching for used outboard motors in the 200 hp range. As a high school graduate from vocational high school in New York City (automotive trade, with first job as an automotive machinist @ 18) I quickly recognized the the state of the art equipment photographed on their website. Toni Marine took three power heads (engines) 2-1988's and 1-1990 and remanufactured two engines to matching specifications. They were returned fully painted withYamaha factory colors and a clear coat finish. We were also given a 2 year warrantee. At the time no one offered more than a 1 year warrantee. Locally or on line. We were also offered the gift of calling them for any technical advice in the future.
We took advantage of that by asking how to best go about using 9 carburetors on hand with three irreparable to match 6. We received a detailed explanation over the phone as to how to achieve our goal. It worked! After the break-in period we had a slight oil fouling of the plugs. 1st advice of changing oil was ruled out. We had 50 gallons remaining of a (new) 55 gallon drum of Chevron 2 cycle oil. Instructions " don't change the plugs go to a 60:1 ratio" (we run pre-mix exclusively). That worked! We fish year round and on the weeks we don't fish the motors are run every 10 days. We never attached any brackets or looms to any bolts that were used on the gasketed components. We rerouted and affixed them to those that did not support gaskets. This kept the engine remanufacture as we received them. We are currently in our fourth year since Toni Marine did the work. Not a single leak or gasket failure. The boat is a 25' 1988 Sea Ox. 18deg dead rise; Loaded, 170gal of fuel & 6 aboard the vessel weighs 7,300#. Under ideal sea conditions it does 50.1 MPH (GPS) with twin Yamaha 200 HP outboards done by Toni Marine. I was told by Will "if you care for my motors, they will last you 20 years". Four years later, I'm a believer. I've been on saltwater as a boat owner since 1972 and Toni Marine is the best I've seen or heard off. The best experience in this field, and I found them by accident, looking for something else!
If you choose them, "do exactly as they say".
