What Our Customers Are Saying

Patrick Kite Verified Customers

In today's world it is hard to find companies to be true to their word. Outboard Trading team is honest, fair, and do what they say they are going to do. I buy new 250 HP Suzuki about 2 months ago along with many other extras they helped to facilitate (new electronics, new vinyl, new T-Top). They continue to do the maintenance on the boat every year and be a valuable source of knowledge when needed.

did lots of research before I purchased Yamaha 70 HP 4 stroke Outboard Trading was fantastic to work with 4 years latter never a hint of a problem except this unit is so quiet sometimes I forget to turn it off at the dock If you live in the Northern Neck these are the folks to trade with, family owned business that treats you like family.

What a great group! I chose Outboard Trading based on the reviews I read and from my family, and was happy I did. I could not have wanted a better buying experience and urge anyone needing anything marine related to give Outboard Trading your business.

Michael Fitton Verified Customers

"I had been looking at Yamaha motors for my 10' inflatable boat about three months. I scoured the internet for reliable sellers. I saw all the scam sites and scam prices.

I read the horror stories from various reviews. Then I found outboardtrading.com

I don't know about all the negative reviews here for Outboard Trading. I read many of them. Still, I went ahead and ordered my outboard from them on May 21, 2020.

I'll be very honest here. My motor was delivered May 26, 2020 (5 days later) without a hitch. The memorial day holiday held the delivery up a day. The motor was packaged very securely and protected very well in a heavy carton encased in form fitting styro encasement. I'll say this about buying online. Read the reviews and take them with a grain of salt. There's not a business in the world that is perfect. Same holds true with customers. Retailers are struggling like we are. They want us to be satisfied as much if not more than we want to be happy. So when buying online keep that in mind. outboardtrading.com is not a scam based on my experience. That of course is what I go by. I did research the web site with scambuster and other reliable fact checking sites. I could not find any reliable information that would lead me to think the site is a scam.

I did not have the need to use tech support or customer service. So I am unable to reliably comment on those areas. I did need to use the payment tab and that was a breeze. I already expressed my opinion on the shipping aspect. That could not have been better. The product I received is as I expected. A brand new reliable motor. What more could I ask for? Coupled with free shipping made this a win win.

One last item is this. marineoutboardmotor was not the least expensive site I found.  They did have the most reliable information available.  So, I am confident I made the right choice.

That being said I think it's important to share a positive experience and with potential buyers of any higher priced product. Do your homework and you will be as happy as I am."

Richard Holland Verified Customers

"I found the kicker motor I wanted for my boat.  I called and talked to Outboard Trading in the phone to ask some questions about delivery ect.  They answered all my questions,  I purchased the motor and had it delivered in two weeks.   My overall experience could not have been better.  I would definitely use them again."

John Webster Verified Customers

"Ordered a new Honda outboard and New motor in the original box arrived very quickly. No idea what un-happy people are talking about. I would buy from them again."

Ryan LaConture Verified Customers

"Outboard Trading performed exactly as promised. I found out about them from a friend who had ordered an outboard from them. Cheapest price and delivered to your door. I ordered an Tohatsu 20 hp electric start and I am very pleased with my purchase (May 2019) and with Outboard Trading. Cheapest price and free delivery, what more do you need?"

Ed Parker Verified Customers

"I ordered a Suzuki 40hp outboard from them on my Wire Transfer and it was declined by them and they emailed me back to recharge to a DIFFERENT company and or person because (according to them) to avoid there expensive Wire Transfer fee's... I'm like, ya right....."

Robert Pietkiewicz Verified Customers

"Ordered new Merc. engine thru this company April 2020.  Outboard Trading kept in touch with day by day shipping details as it crossed the U.S.  Got a call & text before it arrived.  Arrived FedEx with drop gate and pallet jack - Perfect.  The only gripe, the dealer included new fuel tank w/hose and fittings and a quart of oil...  So you can see, it's no grip at all.   So, yeah, this is my go-to company for my next outboard...."

Steve Verified Customers

"I happened to come across a review where someone was saying outboardtrading.com was a rip-off. I googled to see if I could find anymore complaints (I couldn't find one) about them because I'm about to use them again if they have jet drives. I just wanted to go on record as saying that every part of my experience with them was excellent. From the price to the order thru delivery, there is not one thing I thought they could do better. Now if I could click the order button and 1 second later the outboard would be on my boat and ready to go, then I'd stand corrected."

Owen Verified Customers

"I ordered my Suzuki 25 hp during primetime spring,  there was an issue with them receiving a couple of damaged crates on their end. They reordered and it took an extra 5 days. I had them switch out tanks going from a 6 gal to a 3 gallon and adding another item. All went smooth. The price was lowered after a promo and Albert worked with me and split the cost. ( He did not have to do that , but did.) Stellar service on his part!!!)  He was great to work with.  He wanted to make me a happy customer and he did.  I would buy from these guys in a heart beat."

Pete J Verified Customers

My first purchase from outboardtrading.com was around 2018 when I was trying to source outboard motor for my Evinrude 90hp. That first experience was not good as I received the incorrect outboard motor which turned out to be due to the item having the wrong outboardtrading.com outboard motor applied to it. This outboard motor was returned and the correct part eventually sent, albeit after a considerable delay, me being resident in Australia.
Subsequent purchases came without any problems and I have also continued to use outboardtrading.com for service items for my Yamaha F70, the replacement for the ageing Evinrude.
I would recommend outboardtrading.com
