Outboard Motors
 

I have a small 18 foot fishing boat that I would like to put a new motor on. I'm looking for 75 to 90 hp. I would buy used if the motor was in decent shape and newer model, but I'm probably looking for something a little more trouble free and maybe with a warranty.
Does anybody know a place with good prices on one or does anyone on the board have one for sale?

I'm not brand specific.

Is weight an issue? What style fishboat?

2 stroke 90 HP Yamaha cannot be beat. Light, dependable... Shop the dealers, check the net, its boat show time and they are dealing :)

the 90 yam has to rev to 6k plus to make hp try jaco marine they have plenty of motors merc and evenrudes . robbie

It's a small center console Wellcraft that had an Evinrude on it. It will handle the weight no problem. The motor is junk and I would like to put something new in rather than pay to rebuild the old one.
I'll check out the Yami, I figured somebody would post a link to great deal somewhere.
I'm in no hurry though, I got the boat for almost nothing and would like to fix her up to do some fishing and let my teenage boy use it.

Check out scream and fly. They have a classifieds section for outboards.

Whats size mid section do you need? Ill keep an eye out.

How do I figure that out? I had someone ask me what size shaft I need, I guess your talking where the motor ends up in the water kinda like an x-dim. for a stern drive?

if you go 90hp evinrude e-tec, and the boat had an evinrude you wont have to buy any rigging. no servicing for three years. they have been averaging around 7500 installed
