Expensive Parts

[John Churn]

I need some fairly expensive parts for a 2004 4 TEC Sportster

Speed Sensor 136.99
Tach 251.99
Sensor lever/
fuel gauge 50.99

These are prices from the SeadooWarehouse associated with this forum.

Is this the place to get the best price on these items?

Thanks,

John C

Com on guys there are 12 people viewing this post.

I am trying to find out if it has been your experience that the sponsored web site is the best place to buy replacement parts.

You know they can beat the dealers but is there anywhere else?

I want to get this stuff fixed and hit the water. Help me out.

DUDE... relax. it's only been 2 hours. And, just because you have 12 views doesn't mean that they knew.

Anyway... yes, the sponsor has good prices, and good service. They will almost always be better than your local dealer.

That's my story, and I'm sticking to it. :cheers:

Used ?

You could go for used parts Great Lakes Skipper.com or ebay

Ha, and I thought I was impatient, lol. I would definitely check ebay for some of that stuff, I would imagine you could get used good condition parts for cheaper.

As for new, I don't think you can beat the prices here.

OK guys, I did the research for you.

Just because it is easy and looks pretty, and has a common interest ,does not make it the only choice.

I expected this site to have the best prices of anywhere but I wasn't committing my money until I checked it out.

Here's what I found out.


Seadoo Warehouse Parts Best Price other Vendors

Speed Sensor 136.99 109.59
Tachometer 251.99 204.11
gas sensor lever 50.99 40.28

Now here's what's bad. I checked 4 Vendors and they all beat the advertised price of the parts offered on this site by at least 20%.

I don't know if it's a captive audience or people just trust the first thing they see.

This site is designed to help Ski/Boat owners to maintain and service their boats at the most reasonable cost. Everyone bad mouths the dealers for their high prices. This site is supposed to help us get to the most reasonable source.

I don't think they are meeting their goal.
