Not sure where you are located. Several of these 238's available here in Michigan.

Another one here

I had a '95 sundowner with the king cobra outdrive, I think the cobra drive is a good unit as well. Ford motors, I would be more worried about how it was taken care of vs. what brand. The ford motor is fine, just not as common as GM.

As for getting parts for Ford, GM, merc, omc, volvo. any and all can be found, just search the web, or grab a boating magazine and look at there adds for suppliers.
