Buying a used motor

[mistaredone]

I got a quote from a marina for a low hrs 90hp 2 stroke 2000 Yamaha with controls installed for $5000 plus tax. Seem fair or should I keep looking?

 

Also should I look at a four stroke? Does price jump alot going from 2-4 stroke? Is it worth the extra cost?

 

Thanks

Wait a month and by a new one, but buy a NEW 2009 Merc at not much more $7000. A 2000 90 hp yammy is 10 years old. It's done or close to it.

...done?

 

I would certainly hope not! My 2000 Johnson runs as good as new, I hope to get alot more trouble free years on my motor.

 

I agree that $5000 may be a bit steep, but I don't know where you would find any NEW 90hp motor of any brand for only $7000.

Is that installed? With the dollar the way it is, if installed that is a great price.
