Id be looking for a good quality engine mechanic and dealership myself. Chances of having to use the actual Cat warratny are slim. The electronics have their own warranty, same for pumps, outboard, TM etc… Most of the boats small stuff (switches, breakers, etc.) the folks at the factory are more than willing to work with everyone with are easy DIY swap outs. If the boat, engine, and trailer all check out OK up front Id buy with confidence. In the worst case scenario Rick WILL do everything he can to work out an issue!!! P.S. Ive found its always nice to go and introduce yourself to a servicing dealership BEFORE you actually need them while I was moving around a bunch while in the military.
