Anyone looking to sell an outboard 100-130hp may consider 90hp
Submitted by clogwog on Tue, 2013-03-19 18:04
Hi I have been looking for a good secondhand outboard 100-130hp to fit to
an older boat . I have had a look at a couple of motors but not found anything
so thought I would post to see if there was anyone who was re-powering and looking
for a quick sale on their outboard.
I am looking for a 20inch leg, preferably 100-130hp but may cosider a 90hp,
prefer anything newer then 2002 with lower hours, 2 or 4 stroke.
I have a reasonable budget and are willing to pay for a good motor.
If you have something you want to sell please let me know.
Thanks
Bruce

Thanks Bruce,Saw that engine
Thanks Bruce,
Saw that engine on the net but slightly over my budget. Looking at spending around $6000 max
but will stretch a little further for the right motor.
700 hours seems pretty high, I repowered a Baron years ago with a 50hp and was told by the mechanic that
750 hours was pretty much the lifespan on that 2 stroke engine. Not sure if the same goes for newer 2 and 4 strokes.

Looking at repowereing a Pacemaker Trendsetter, just shy of 18 foot. has been in the family for over
30 years ,it currently has an old Johnson 90 but would love a little more power, the 115 would probably be a perfect match for it.
Had a look at a 130 Yamaha which looked good but seemed a little overpriced for what it was.
Was hopeing that with my budget I might be able to pickup a good two stroke from someone repowering
with a four stroke.

Yes was that engine, he was
Yes was that engine, he was very negotiable and willing to accept $6500, only thing that concerned me
was that he was saying it had 300-320 hours on it but had no gauge to verify. The cowling was also well aged for
a motor that had supposedly been garaged up until six months ago. Very nice guy though and I am sure that the
motor is good and he will get what he wants for it. Also I have seen the same engines with more hours for a fair bit less then $6500.
