My Dolphin pump died this year so I replaced it with a Sequence Reeflo. The Reeflo is quieter than the Dolphin and much more compact despite the higher flow rating.
The Dolphin pump always leaked. I upgraded it to the marine seal the second time I changed it; it too always weeped. That was the pumps demise in the end. This last time I pulled it apart, the motor shaft was too corroded to take the new seal kit (which I had on hand for this eventuallity). Personally I wouldn't reccomend them too highly.
So if you do buy one and want a marine seal kit for it, I have one.
