Anybody had any experiences with One Outboard/Blackbird industries?

I've got a very good friend who is trying to find a 2005 or newer 225 hp outboard and doesn't want to go through a 'Greg Slayton' fiasco. Would appreciate any help - MV

nabee - Appreciate the heads up. With glowing (read - 'radioactive) reviews like these, the court decisions in particular are about as impartial as you're going to get - I think my buddy's answer will be a resounding...no... Thx again - Mv

he can check lower units easy and the over-all condition of the motor himself or with a mechanic.
some outboards will have bulletins of new lower units, parts or so on but compression and engine hours are the most important.

plenty good engines for sale ..

Thx Quest. I know he has been primarily looking at Craig's List & Ebay ('E' commerce, kinda like modern GPS - it narrows the routes we take...). I'm going to tell him to start checking with some local dealers as I agree that he should be able to find one. Although he's out of the Stuart area, I know that he would drive to another part of the State if it seemed like the deal - Although he is not an expert, he is pretty knowledgeable. This guy had a 200 'Suzuki' when people still thought that 'Suzuki' meant some sort of fandango Japanese vegetable...
