How much should it cost for s used 9.9 outboard?

[splashhopper]

The 12 ft tinnie I bought is 19-20" deep..

 

I am thinking this would mean it will need a short shaft motor?

 

 

What is a reasonable price for a used 9.9 hp motor for this boat?

 

What brands should I stay AWAY from in these motors?

 

Thanks

Yep, you're looking for a short shaft.

 

The only motors I would avoid like the plague are the Force or Old Chryslers.

Johnson, Evinrude, Mercury or Yamaha are all good.

Price is dependent on age. You will be able to get a good used motor for between $500 and $1000.

Good luck on your search.

Stay away from old chryslers,some parts are avail in burlington and its not worth it.

There is a gent in beamsville that sells used outboards,his name is Hans,I dont have a #.But I bought an 1985 honda 7.5 4 stroke in mint shape for 800 bucks.His labour rate is excellent too.
