Default Sail outboard motors

'Jace',

Never heard of them, or have any experience. However, the photos definitely
looked familiar.

I searched the site, especially the 'Dealer' portion, for any hint of
'Country of Manufacture'. While there was no mention of that {I suspected
China}, there was a comment in the text, '. . . Yamaha parts compatible . .
..' .

This tells me that they ARE Yamaha products {most probably}and are simply
'private labeled', with 'SAIL' being an 'International Distribution
Corporation'. Be that as it may, there is STILL the possibility that the
Chinese have 'lifted' the design from Yamaha.

I'd do a bit more research on the 'company' background, if I was serious
about buying the product.

Regards & Good Luck,

Has anyone heard of "Sail" outboard motors? Is this a reputable
company and does any have any comments on the engines?
