iboats has sold outboard motors and major engine components to thousands of very satisfied customers. Below is just a small sampling of some of the responses we get back. We understand that you may be considering a large dollar purchase and recommend that you Click Here to find out more about our company.

Click on this link to see praise from our ebay customers. As you can see, we work very hard to please each customer. (We only sell a few engines on ebay because we like to keep prices as low as possible. That is why we have hundreds of outboards for sale on our site and a few at most on ebay.)

It has been more than six months since I received my 2003 short-shaft Mercury 25hp and I couldn't be happier. It ran great through its first South Texas duck hunting season and is now ready for summer time flats fishing. The little outboard starts every time by the second pull and has never given me a lick of trouble. Your customer service was great and I appreciate you taking the time to field all my questions pre-sale. I will buy my next outboard from you. Thanks for running a great business.

Sincerely,

Peter F. Benshetler

Just want you to know that I have received my lower unit, already installed and working. Thanks for your prompt service and most helpful customer service. I will recommend you any chance I get.

Thanks very much.

Hey Mike,
Thanks for great motor. I received my Yamaha 30 hp a week and a half ago and have had out on Lake Superior and it runs so smooth I can hardly believe it. It's just great and I'm really happy that I went with iboats. Thank again,

I just wanted to comment on the purchase of my special program Mercury 15 horsepower outboard. The motor was arrived as promised and I've had the chance to use it several times. It started on the second pull out of the box and I rarely have to pull it more than once. I was a little hesitant to buy a motor that wasn't new, but I'm glad I did, I'm very pleased with the motor and the value of my purchase.

Thank you!

Aloha iboats. We bought a 2003 9.9 hp mercury and you shipped it here to Hawaii. It arrived perfectly crated and I decided to wait 4 months before I sent you my comments because it seems to me most people are so impressed that they respond before they have spent much time with the outboard. We use it 5 days out of 7 since we live in a marina. This outboard is as good as it gets. I recommend you to everybody I talk to. This outboard was basically better than new when I received it. It runs perfectly and I know this was one of the best purchases I will ever make. We will buy from you again and again.

On my first transaction I purchased a 40 horse Mercury outboard and dealt with Dan. His service and individual consideration was great. Product knowledge, courteous attitude, complete follow through, all topped off with service that was much faster than I expected.

I came back to look for my new Humminbird electronics unit. Shane Berg was on the phone in a flash. The unit I had decided on was no longer available. Shane immediately knew the replacement model. Although the new model had not been posted on your site yet Shane connected me to the Humminbird website without causing me to call back. We were able to make an educated decision immediately. When I learned my choice was discontinued and the new model wasn't on your site yet I was worried that I might not be able to get the unit here before I leave on my trip the end of this month, but you folks don't ever let me down. Shane tells me it is in stock and will be here first of next week some time, maybe even as early as this Friday.

I always choose to do business with people who treat me like a person, not an opportunity for a sale. I came to you the first time looking for my chosen product at a good price, expecting to have to put up with some minor hassles and delays to get the good price. I have been completely overwhelmed by the treatment I have received from you. I am recommending you whenever I get a chance.

Great service, Great Prices, Thanks,

I stopped by East Texas Marine today and there sat my powerhead… Thanks for getting it out so fast for me.

The motor is working wonderful…I am more than pleased with the work that was done. It is so hard these days to find a company willing to do a good and thorough job for a decent price. I can't thank you enough!

Thank you for the promptness of my order and the way you have kept in touch with me on this order. As of this moment everything is in order and the Mechanic is installing the part to my boat. Thank you again and hope you and your family had a wonderful Turkey Day!

I just wanted to inform you that I received my motor today and everything seems to be great. Thank you for the service I received when I had questions...

Thank you,

I recently purchased a 115 hp Yamaha outboard powerhead through you . As a Licesened Merchant Marine Captain and Engineer aboard Tugs and a factory trained Outboard Mech. for Merc. & OMC outboards I can Quite honestly say that the unit I purchased through you is one of the BEST Remaned Powerheads I have yet to see,the work is of the HIGEST quality. I will without a doubt recomend you to other mechs. and as well as the company for which I work (we have several OB's by various Mfgrs.) thank you for the prompt service and the QUALITY products you handle

P.S. This powerhead was purchased for my PERSONAL boat.


I am sending a message back to you to confirm that I did receive my 35 hp Johnson Motor. I was surprised that It came sooner than expected. I do want to say that the used 2000 motor looked better than I thought it would. Sure it had a few nicks on it but that was expected. My friend and I looked over the entire motor and noticed that you could tell that iboats inspected and tested it before shipment. I thank iboats for living up to its company policy.

The big test was taking it out for a run. We took it out the next day and I must say I was a little apprehensive at first but when we got it out on the water and ran it and fished with it for two and half hours, there appears to be no problems. It starts well, idles well, runs well and everything about it seems to working to my satisfaction. So far I am very pleased to have dealt with iboats.

If everything continues as expected I will truly recommend iboats to my friends. I could not have received this kind of motor at this price if it wasn't for iboats. Thanks Dan for your professional assistance.

Sincerely,

Tony Luciow

I bought a 9.9 HP Mercury outboard motor from iboats and I want to let you, and anyone thinking of buying a motor from you. I think this is one of the better deals I've ever had. The motor far exceeds my expectations.

Thanks for a great service.

I just wanted to let you know that I could not be happier with the outboard I purchased from you! Rest assured, you will have my business and anyone I can refer to you for all of my future marine needs. Thank you again and have a safe and prosperous New Year.

One damn happy customer!

Just a note of thanks. Everything worked out. Please thank the shipper for the prompt delivery. The girl scouts were very happy that we didn't cancel.

I will call you in the near future to discuss our operation. Once again, thank you for the wonderful service.

I appreciate your service! Keep up the fine work! I've already recommended you to two of my friends. My marine told me he was going to use you as well…

The boat ran fine this August & I expect it to run this way for years to come. I was reluctant to use your service because of the amount of money involved & my fear of Internet fraud, but am very happy I did. Thanks again!

I received my 2.5hp Mercury today. It's better than I expected… starts on the first pull and runs great. Thanks!

I think you're great! I bought a 9.9 Merc for my dingy and the engine was as new. It flat gets it, I have about the fastest dingy in San Carlos, Sonora Mexico.

Doug Teeter


I just want to let your company know at iboats.com that the 9.9 Mercury Outboard motor I bought from your special engines program has performed like NEW and looks NEW too! The next time I or anyone that I know needs any marine products I will recommend them to iboats.com.

One happy motoring customer!!

It has been a pleasure doing business with iboats and so far the new lower unit is working great. I now have about 4hrs on it and weather permitting I am going out today, get the 5 on it and then try it full throttle. I`m not expecting any problems.

Once again thank you and the employees of iboats for the A ONE plus service I have received. I am now a confirmed customer.

Tom Andrews


Thank you. The new power-head was installed and runs great! Everything for the new core was included. I am completely satisfied with iboats service. Everything went without a glitch. I will definitely do business with iboats again. Thank you.

Michael Hughes


Wow! The 15hp Mercury 4 stroke outboard I ordered arrived. I can not believe the condition the motor was in, it looks brand new. I'm very pleased with the motor. Buying a motor on the internet, I was a little worried about what I was going to receive. Thank you, iboats. Great job!

Mike Wasikowski


Thanks for all your help! I just may be able to catch some stripers and blues this year after all. This weekend is the Annual Bluefish Tournament here in Long Island Sound. Though I will miss it this year, there's always next. $25,000.00 Purse for the biggest fish…thanks again Ryan; I really appreciate you and your company.

I caught a 19.5-pound bluefish the first day out. The winner of the bluefish tournament won with a little 16 pounder. Oh well, next year. I will have a picture of a 50 or so pound tuna I caught 20 miles off the point of Montauk.

…the motor was delivered this afternoon and after uncrating it, it was everything Ben told me it would be, great condition, clean, and worth the extra wait!

I can't say enough nice things about your sales and customer relation team, even though I'm up and boating again, I still find myself checking out your motors regularly…From the Website, to the Inventory selection, to the Sale, to the Arrangement of Delivery…iboats.com a class act!!

Chris Brown, CA
Outboard Motor


We received the motor yesterday…it started it up and it runs great…Thank-you so much.

And we have taken the boat almost every weekend and haven't had any problems (except the fish aren't biting). I also wanted to say that I am very happy that the amount you quoted me was exactly what I paid (no this charge of that fee or the shipping was more)

Thanks from very happy customers!

JP and Phil Pope, CA
Mercury Outboard Motor


I would like to thank Iboats for the quick delivery of a program 9.9 Merc.
The motor was installed the day after it arrived and has performed flawlessly.
I will recommend Iboats to others and when in need of another motor do it again.

Thank you.
