Default Best price

Where can I get the best price on a new or used 2 stroke 9.9 or 15 hp motor?

Cabelas has the best prices I could find and they pay shipping and you can put it on your credit card and pay over 6 months.

Couldn't seem to email you. I don't think I can use a long shaft. I am going to put it on a 14' aluminum boat and I think the shaft would be to long. Otherwise I would be interested. Thanks for the offer.

Thanks for the info Pilar. I have always been a little fuzzy on wether I could put a long shaft on my boat.

Neutron, since I can't email you if you want to talk price drop me an email.

You can also mount the motor a little higher by extending the transom height, they only differ by 5"(I believe). You can make a long shaft shorter but you cannot make a short shaft longer!

The cool thing about cabelas is if you use their card you can get about $20 credit toward other gear from the bonus points!

Grits,

The longshaft is always preferred with higher resale value and application on almost any boat. The skeg will extend down about 8 extra inches. This will affect a boat on plane but it will still plane at a slightly higher speed.

This motor will fish on a driftboat or sailboat but a short shaft will not.
