sauce Posted July 9, 2014 Report Share Posted July 9, 2014 Have you ever looked into buying a new outboard motor? Many people are shocked when they see the price tag on a brand new one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinker Posted July 9, 2014 Report Share Posted July 9, 2014 Yep, a new 40hp yammy is pushing 8K......I bought mine for just under 4K brand new in '94. I cant find a replacement now...unless I go new. S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

porkpie Posted July 9, 2014 Report Share Posted July 9, 2014 Big tillers have always been hard to find. Costs are huge now too, as mentioned! That's a nice looking boat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted July 9, 2014 Report Share Posted July 9, 2014 they have risen a lot recently as well. i only paid 8k for my 50 hp yammy tiller with the trolling control buttons, taxes in, in 2009. now that motor is close to $10k. 25% increase in five years?

DRIFTER_016 Posted July 10, 2014 Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 (edited) Any used motor is hard to get, I am looking at re-powering my boat from a 115-150 and its crazy how much they are!!! I upgraded from a 90 two stroke to a 115 four stroke last year and it lightened my wallet by $14.5K!!!! The whole boat/motor/TM/trailer combo was $19.5K when I bought it new in '91.

mike rousseau Posted July 10, 2014 Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 You can get anchors much cheaper than that at Princess Auto..

Old Ironmaker Posted July 10, 2014 Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 Buddy bought a used 115 Merc E Tec last year for 12K and thought it was a great deal. I paid a tad more for a like new 14 year old 115 Merc 5 years ago and they threw in a 19' Starcraft and the trailer for free. Considering I stopped to pick up a few things at the store today and didn't even get a cart and it came to 73 bucks, no one shopping for toys can complain. I don't know how 2 working people with a few kids can even think about fishing today. Sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scugpg Posted July 10, 2014 Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 And yet another person e-mailing me this morn looking to buy just my motor--gonna have to get it off kijiji I guess once buddy put cash in my mitt I had this exact motor up till this year and it was great. Got an amazing trade in toward a new engine. Believe these were actually yamaha powerheads on these. Have you got a new boat yet? Might be worth seeing what trade you could get at a dealer as the tillers are in demand? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushart Posted July 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 Yes I'm told they were Yamaha powerheads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
