    I'm not sure, but all of their "reviews" are from 2016 and appear to be "made up.

    Some are irrelevant gibberish and many either repeat portions of another review "My daughter love the color.." or re-use the same persons name... and a lot of the names sound like the typical Hong Kong fake American names that you get in an e-mail "Hi this Bob Dingdong from the service department."

    Also, they claim to do $1.5M - $2M in sales but have 50 - 60 each of dozens of engine models "in stock"... which would be like $20M in inventory?

    And this: http://scamanalyze.com/check/yamaha-...dsale.com.html also my virus scanner warns that the site "may be malicious".

    And this: "Their are some articles on "the hull truth" about that site. Total sham so don't bother."

    It sounds like one of the scams where you send them $10k and they give you a tracking number to buy some time... and then the tracking number shows the "package" never left China and they tell you they're sorry but customs wants $2500 to release it so you pay that because it's still a good deal, but then the shipper needs $2500 for delivery once it reaches the states so you send that... and in the end you're out $15k and never do get a motor?

    Do you have the link? Some of it is funny, but the sad thing is some one is probably going to send them money for a jet ski or whatever and lose their ass if their credit card company won't eat the charges.

    All the "reviews" are obvious fakes "my ducks like this engine"
