I need to replace some faucets and was looking at both Scandvik and Shurflo. Pricing is not an issue. Anyone have insight as to the best quality?
Any other brands I should be looking at?

What type of facets? For the sink in the head, galley wash down?
We have Grohe and Moen for the Galley & the sinks in the heads
 
A faucet is a faucet. All it does is let water go from the valve to the drain. Don't limit yourself to the "marine" environment.

Ferguson has very nice faucets at all price points.
 
Well, you do want to get something made with good quality finishes and valves. We replaced the faucets in two of the heads a couple of years ago with some Danze units we bought at DIY Plumbing in Ft. Lauderdale. They are well made, vs what some PO had put in which corroded and internally failed, looking bad and not functioning well at the same time. the new ones have faired well with year around use out on the briny blue. I did check out the Scandvik stuff, which is nice and not unreasonably priced, but needed to match the hole spacing already in place.

Hatteras 56MY (many faucets)
Boston Whaler 130 Sport (No faucets).
 
Thanks all, This is a Head faucet/shower combo unit. I had not thought of non-marine ones. Will take a look at what's out there.

Check at some of the larger RV supply stores. You can oftentimes find something there, that you can't find at a marine store. Also see where you can get replacement parts for them (seals, gaskets, "O" rings, etc.), as they will eventually need servicing.

I was able to get Scandvik replacement parts directly by calling them on the telephone. Their catalog is on their website.

You might find one at an RV store, but you won't find it at a home center.

My original Scandvik unit looked pretty bad but a thorough going over with Flitz polish brought it back to like-new condition.

The metal clad hose had been pulled apart but I was able to get a non-metal clad replacement from Scandvik for less then $20.00.
