I can't recommend these guys; they are absolutely insane. They quoted me $1,750 for rewinding the stator. That's one and a half times more expensive than a new stator. Whoever recommends them, are you not counting your money?

They may have quoted you for variation one, which is $1700 dealers cost for a new one. Variation two is about 1200 dealers cost and that is most likely the one you have

You're absolutely right, that's exactly what I mean. This is another example of Florida-style business. Why would I do a rewind if I can buy a new one cheaper? Seriously, what's wrong with these guys?

My point was you’re gonna pay 40% more than that for a new one once the dealer marks it up. Depending on the warranty for the rewind, you may be better off. I’ve never dealt with rewinds for Marine units but a shop I used up north usually made a better rotor and stator than factory.

But yeah, everything down here is ridiculously expensive for indifferent to piss poor quality work. Not that that’s the case with Broward. I have no experience with them. I was referring more generally to Marine work overall.

I think this applies not only to Broward.

So, if you for example approach them with a stator of the same size but one that costs $600, they will quote you $600 for rewind. And, for three stators of the same size and complexity, they would demand three different prices, differing by three times. These are the prices if you visit their office in a Nissan. Furthermore, if you visit their office in a BMW you can expect, the price tag doubles; in a Maserati, it triples... This is terrible.
