Grubbs Marine Clearout

Post by Mpower »

If anyone has any desperate needs for old mercury outboards, I am looking into getting a shipment over from Bob Grubb.I have bought an engine from him, and am trying to find the cheapest way of getting it back here. The first shipping agent I spoke to said I would have to pay for a minimum weight shipment of 1 ton.

If anyone else wants any bits/engines then we can consolidate the shipment and save all round.

He is having a garage sale at the moment, so there is a real treasure trove of old mercury and other brands parts.

Try a few more shipping agents...I've had 3 shipped over; mostly small 10 to 20hps 4 years ago and was cheap by ship..think 2 were about 120 quid and took about 5 - 6 weeks.
Fasten bra straps and remove dentures...
