Jimmie Parise Blackwater Marine, Outboard Rebuild.Com, sold me reconditioned outboard motor. Had not touched it nor did it run right . Lost use of boat all summer, motor had a 3 yr guarantee. He took motor back and never gave me the money back. milton, Florida
Jimmie is involved in repairing boats and he sells used motors. I purchased a 70 hp outboard and he priced it installed, with a 3 yr guarantee. I paid him half down, in cash.. I got a hand written receipt with Blackwater marine listed on the slip. He said it would take a week to put it on the boat. It was 3 months later when I got the boat back. I ran it. It would not go into reverse. I checked it out myself, and found the oil, filter, etc was never touched. It was old. It was supposed to have been gone all over. As the boat was a sailboat, he sent someone to check it out and the fellow had no experience with 4 strokes and couldn't fix it. After I took to boat to a reputable dealer, and had it checked out, it turns out it had been overheated 29 times (from the computer reading), had a bad thermostat, and a bad lower end, which they unsuccessfully tried to repair/. I bought a new motor , returned the motor to Jimmie and made him sign a paper saying he would pay back the money. I accepted a 60 day paypay time, he said he could do it in 90. After 90 days, he said he would pay me $500 wk until it is paid off. He said he would bring it to the house. Over 120 days later, no money. After quite a few phone calls, some returned, others not, many promises, no action. None. As a salesperson, he was the smoothest person I have ever met. He has a very honest disposition but has outrightly lied to me on many occasions. He is not to be trusted. He has a reputation or moving around , and changing company names. Warning.....stay away. I would not give him the benefit of the doubt as I did many time.
