solopaddler Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 Hey guys I could use some input here again. Related to my other post asking where to find a new 40hp 4 stroke Yammy I'm looking to sell my existing motor. Problem is I have no clue what it's worth. It's a '99 Yamaha 2 stroke 25hp long shaft tiller. Manual start, trolling plate, spare prop, gas tank and hose included. Serviced yearly, stored indoors, pretty much mint shape... Thanks boys.

Roy Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 Good morning Mike. Last season I sold my 1999, 30HP Mariner because I wanted to max out the boat with a 4 stroke. (I bought a 60hp 4stroke tiller) Everyone reckoned that the 30 was worth about $2,500....it had no more than 150 hours on it. It ran great and was quite silent for a 2 stroke, electric start. That motor never let me down it's just that the boat was under powered. My neighbour needed a motor...I went to a dealer and he kindly offered me $1,000 for it. I turned it down and gave it to my neighbour for $1,000 with a set a new spare plugs, a new gas tank (he has no built-in tank) and 3 new props. He's happy as a pig in poop right now and takes it out every other day. I would say that if that 25hp Yammy is in reasonable condition, it should be worth $2,000. at least.

Roy Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 Thought I'd bump this to see if someone could give Mike some solid advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks a bunch Roy, what you're telling me jives with the small amount of research I've done so far. How does $1700 sound?

Roy Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 It's a good price my friend and from someone who's trustworthy and well known here, I'd say you can get out and buy the new one now. Have a great day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
