solopaddler Posted May 30, 2007 Report Share Posted May 30, 2007 A couple of weekends ago up at the cottage we used my uncles 2 horse Honda while fishing a small back lake. Was pretty impressed with it, so as I'm in the market for a small motor for myself I started searching for one. I ended up finding one, located 31/2 hours away from me. Guy says it's a 2001, runs perfectly, but is a former rental motor that's seen it's share of use, and he's asking $300 for it. Definitely a good price, but I'm a little leery about the high hours and the 7 hours of driving there and back to get it. What do you guys think? If it's otherwise in good shape is the high hours thing as bad with a 4-stroke motor? I just need a kick in the pants one way or the other to decide .

glen Posted May 30, 2007 Report Share Posted May 30, 2007 I am not sure if that motor has a built in hour meter or not. Coin toss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
