Been looking around and this is a option being offered by a couple of marinas.
The warranty begins when the toon sells so full warranty is included...your thoughts?

My thoughts would be you better get a fairly nice discount to make it worth your while. Just my opinion, but a lot of people who rent boats have little to no experience operating boats and obviously won't treat them as well as if they owned it themselves. Depending on the outboard (with an Evinrude ETEC being the exception), all of the manufacturers have specific break in procedures. Did the dealer break it in before renting it out? As others have said, I would go through it with a fine tooth comb (including the underside of the boat). Not trying to be Johnny Rain Cloud, but look real close and get a real nice discount. The dealer got a season worth of rental fees on it so they should be able to make you a good deal. Kind of surprised they can sell it as new with full warranties.
