Hello can you tell me is BOE an authorized Furuno dealer? I was speaking with Furuno and they stated that some sellers are authorized dealers that buy directly from them but couldn't find your name. Or do you purchase from wholesaler?

Thanks

All equipment we get from Furuno comes straight from Furuno, we do rely heavily on distribution for a good bit of it due to the fast pace of ecommerce. Sometimes things ship from Furuno, sometimes from us, sometimes from a distributor. Because we are also a boat dealer we are excluded from ever being listed on Furuno's site. They have a blanket policy to put boat dealers in a separate category. Why, you thinking of getting in line for some Navnet3 stuff?

Thanks yes been looking at Navnet 3. Saw the other post and called Furuno to inquire about the validity of the "authorized dealer" comment. What they said was that basically yes their "authorized dealers" meaning those listed online would get product before others. I did ask them if they could look up BOE and was told they could not find. Just thinking wouldn't want to have to wait until June (in theory) vs end of March.

Let me know your thoughts. Thanks

Anybody that buys from Furuno is an authorized dealer, so even procuring the product through a distributor it is ultimately being bought from Furuno as all distributors are authorized dealers. In other words, it really doesn't matter how the product is bought, Furuno only sells to authorized dealers so they only ship to authorized dealers, so it was a weird statement you heard. I am pretty sure we sell more Furuno than any three electronics companies in MD combined so I am quite certain we will have this stuff as soon as anybody. It has been ordered since November.
