I'm going to have the powerhead on my 1989 Evinrude XP 200 rebuilt this spring. I'm considering having it done by a company called Blackbird <http://1outboard.com/index.html>.

I've read good things in other forums about this company's work. Anyone here have any experience or info about the company? Thanks in advance.

Fitz,

We must read the same boards. I've heard the same thing about their work but can't say anything first hand.

Good luck...

Fitz.

Blackbird (Co?) is just North of Pittsburgh in a place called Butler. I bought a rebuid from him and was satisfied. Mostly b/c of the price. At the time I bought a rebuilt powerhead installed on the boat with existing lower unit for $1500. I did have a problem and he fixed it w/o question quickly. Only one experience but was pleased.
