This is the place to buy an outboard motor!…
Awesome company shipped me an outboard motor. Excellent support with rigging questions and great price. Fast shipping from California to Washington state. Beautiful new Tohatsu 9.9 extra long shaft remote control kicker delivered right to my home. I highly recommend this seller and will purchase items from them again in the future. Thanks!

I would return to Boat Specialists without hesitation
David Fabian was professional. He was never intrusive, yet kept in touch. When we picked up the boat he was kind and helpful, knowing we were new to the boating world. If I need service or have a question I will not hesitate to contact David. It was a great experience overall. Thanks, David!

Exceptional Customer Service
Your employees are exceptional with good customer service. Everyone I spoke with made me feel like a valued customer. They offered help if I needed anything after the purchase of the Honda outboard.

Excellence in service
They just provide excellent service. Everything was very transparent, and they work with me in choosing a new engine and getting installed in the boat, very pleased with their service and with results.

Purchasing my 9.9 mercury motor was great.
Purchasing my 9.9 mercury motor was great. They helped me order the correct item with the special needs and the order came in early. FYI, I ordered the same motor (loose motor) through Cabela's in Hoffman Estates il. After 6 months it finally came in and they wouldn't let me pick it up. They insisted they must do the installation. Real not nice people, a bunch of bad high-pressure sales. They deserve many words of negativity. However, the salesman who sold the motor originally to me was very good. Thanks for all of your help, it's nice to work with someone willing to sell what the customer wants. (Thanks for letting me vent about that Cabela's) You were great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

40 horse Yamaha, 15 horse Tohatsu
Unable to find motors locally I tried Boat Specialists. They had the items, offered a two motor price and shipped them quickly. Their knowledge and assistance in setting them up was phenomenal.
