Roy Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 I think most dealers will take a trade in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

huntervasili Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 I am sure a google search or yellowpages.ca search will be you're best bet. Lots of dealers it mainly depends on you're area Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HTHM Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 It may not be an engine issue, but rather a prop issue. Talk to J & J marine in Hagersville for some good advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canadianboy Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 i know some people with similar boats if its an open bow depending on length im presuming 18 feet probably 2500 pounds that should be going at least 35 if not 40 i would get the engine inspected and would look into a new prop as you might have it chipped that could meen you are losing alot of tourque. check the psi on the cylinders and check that the throtle linkage is ok and thats its not extremely tight and you just cant push the control alll the way. if theres nothing wrong its seriously not worth selling your old motor through a dealer get someone who knows boats and will do it cheap to take it out then you can sell that on the board or kijiji for a lot more than a dealer would give. with regardes to a new motor dont buy new way to expensive and it wont be worth it for resale just look on auto trader i often see plenty of 4.3 for around 2500 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
