re- powering your outboard
Submitted by mrwinta on Tue, 2011-05-17 03:56
Some of you might remember I posted about buying or importing a new boat but looking at what I will get for mine that is still less than 3 years old, it is not worth selling it yet.... So I am thinking about upsizing the motor. I have a Honda four 90 on it at the moment with 250 hours and although I get 30 knots out of it and a fantastic 2.5 kms to the litre, now I have started diving and carrying heaps more weight I am thinking I might go up to a 135- 150. If anyone is interested in buying my motor or a swap for a larger motor + price difference then send me a PM.
But my question is does any one know of a place that does trade-ins or upgrade packages in Perth?
Thanks guys...

Matei would try Dinghy world

i would try Dinghy world in como - i have bought from them twice and found them to be the cheapest by far and great guys to deal with - i know they do trades but i reckon you would get a bit more $$ selling second hand - 2nd hand fourstrokes are usually not for sale long!!
cheers

sell it yourself
far better to sell it yourself.
Pay $50 for a printout of the ECU, and put it on Ebay etc. Youll get a much better deal both ways rather than getting shagged from both ends cos its a trade-in and you have little bargaining power.
As said 4 strokes sell easy-there is few on the market.
