I'm looking to purchase brand new Mercury Racing 450R outboard engines — a high-performance, low-volume model that's frequently backordered or allocated to boat builders before reaching dealer floors. I want multiple units (a pair, triple, or quad set, depending on what's actually available), all brand new, not used or take-off engines. Sellers must be based in the USA. I'm in California, but shipping arrangements are flexible — I can arrange my own freight, or the dealer can arrange it, whichever is easier. Location of the dealer anywhere in the US is fine either way. Note: I am already sourcing from Blackbird Industries, Offshore Performance, and BAM Marine directly — please exclude these from your search and do not submit leads from them. What I need: Research and identify authorized US dealers, brokers, or boat builders who currently have brand new 450R engines in stock, on order, or expecting allocation soon (excluding the three sellers noted above). Reach out to each lead (phone or email) to confirm real, current availability of brand new units specifically — not used, refurbished, or take-off engines, and not an outdated listing. For each confirmed lead, collect: engine configuration (shaft length, gearcase — HD or Sportmaster, rotation for multi-engine setups), confirmation that it's new/unused, whether the dealer can arrange shipping or expects the buyer to, and estimated timeline to purchase/ship. Compile everything into a simple running list or spreadsheet (dealer/seller name, contact info, location, configuration, status, shipping notes, last contact date) and share it with me as you go — I don't want to wait until the end to see results. Flag anything that looks like a scam or misrepresentation, or any seller who can't clearly confirm the engine is brand new. If you find a dealer with real, confirmed new-unit availability, let me know immediately — allocation on these engines can disappear fast. Bonus structure: I'm willing to pay bonuses on top of the base project fee for leads that result in confirmed availability of multiple units from a single source — e.g. a bonus if you find a dealer who can supply a matched pair, and a larger bonus for a triple or quad from one seller. Open to discussing exact bonus amounts with the freelancer once we agree on the base scope. Ideal freelancer: Familiar with the marine industry, ideally performance/offshore boats or Mercury Racing products specifically Comfortable making cold calls and emails to dealers and brokers Organized — able to track dozens of leads without losing detail Honest and skeptical — I'd rather you tell me a lead is bad, used, or unconfirmed than pad the list Deliverable: A verified, up-to-date list of real US dealer leads with brand new Mercury Racing 450R availability (contact info, configuration, confirmed-new status, shipping arrangement), delivered progressively as you find them, not just at the end. Timeline: Ongoing/as-needed. Communication: Please check in with progress updates every few days, even if it's just "no new leads yet" — I'd rather have visibility than silence.

Hello, I can help you source brand-new Mercury Racing 450R outboard engines from legitimate US-based dealers, brokers, and boat builders, excluding Blackbird Industries, Offshore Performance, and BAM Marine. I have extensive experience in global sourcing, supplier verification, negotiation and procurement, including specialized and low-volume products. I understand that with a high-demand model like the 450R, online listings are not sufficient - we need to verify actual, current availability of new/unused units. I can manage the complete process including: • Identify and contact authorized US dealers/brokers/boat builders • Verify genuine current stock • Confirm new/unused condition—not used, refurbished or take-off • Verify shaft length, HD/Sportmaster gearcase and rotation • Confirm quantity available, pricing and purchase timeline • Check shipping arrangements and coordinate logistics • Identify suspicious or misleading sellers • Maintain an updated spreadsheet with seller, contact, location, configuration, status and contact dates • Provide progressive updates and immediately report confirmed availability I am comfortable making cold calls/emails and dealing professionally with suppliers and global buyers. My approach is straightforward: verified leads only, with accurate information rather than padded lists. I can start immediately and am open to your bonus structure for confirmed pair, triple or quad-unit availability. Best regards, Surendra Sharma

Consider this ✍️ I'm aware of the challenges in sourcing Mercury Racing 450R outboard engines, especially given the high demand and limited supply. I understand the importance of identifying authorized dealers who can confirm real availability of brand new units, not used or refurbished engines. You mentioned needing multiple units and flexibility in shipping arrangements. What usually matters most here is ensuring that the leads are credible and the engines are genuinely new. I have worked on similar sourcing projects where thorough verification of availability was crucial. So I know the risk of wasting time on leads that can't deliver. My approach would involve: • Researching authorized dealers across the USA. • Reaching out via phone or email to confirm availability. • Collecting detailed information on each engine configuration. • Compiling the data into a running spreadsheet. • Flagging any potentially deceptive leads immediately. Are you open to discussing how I can expedite this search process? Best, Kurt.
