Anybody every used this company? Looking at a 15hp 2-stroke to be shipped to the States, but I am very apprehensive. Curious if anybody has ever used them and if they are legit or not? Thanks in advance for any feedback.

Are you abroad? How about Port Harbor Marine? They are a known and established dealer in Maine. I used them in So. Portland.
If I was going to purchase online, I would contact Andy @ Sim Yamaha.
He is known in the Whaler community and I trust him.

No, I am in Maine. But, 2-strokes are no longer sold in the US.

Ok -
You are going to have to explain a bit more.
Why a 2 stroke? What boat?

I want a 2-stroke short shaft 15hp Yamaha for a small rigid inflatable. The power/weight ratio along with reliability of this engine is superior. Finding a reasonably priced used one is difficult. So, for the price of a well used one here in the States, this company offers new for a lower price than most used for a better price.

I would be extemely wary of this operation. If you poke around elsewhere, you will find plenty of discussion of this or similar outfits. It seems the name/website changes occasionally, making it difficult to find info on them. I have yet to read anything positive.
Also, to my knowledge it is at best shady to import 2-stroke engines into the US that are not EPA compliant. You should investigate where these engines are coming from -- China?
