WTB: 150-200 HP Outboard

Orelk6x6 · 01-17-2011, 09:55 AM

Looking for a decent 150-200 HP outboard. Nothing older than 2005 and it needs to be in good shape. Would prefer a Mercury Optimax or Evinrude E-tec, but will concider a Yamaha or Suzuki 140 if the price is right. I'll need a mechanic to look at it, as I will be shipping it to Alaska and installing it up here, and any cost from that can be added to your selling price. Thanks.

Tracker on the Salty Dog board might have (2) for sale.

Though Fish Hawk had one for sale also.

Still looking. Wish I could buy FishHawk's, but a 225 would put me over my limit.

i have a 2006 200hp 2 stroke yami,that has less then 400 hrs on it,it runs like a champ but when my boat is loaded for long days of fishin with a full crew seems not enough horse,i wonder if a 3 way deal could make it possible for more horse for me???and work out good for others involved??

Paul,
Your using the pump only up there correct? So a 225 hp prop is a 160 hp jet. So set up as a jet you would be looking at a 160 HP

Not sure if your rating on that boat is seperated between prop and pump like on mine. You may want to look into that.

I'm rated for 150 pump and 140 prop. I was planning to use both. I really want to buy that 225 you have for sale (if it's still available), but I think I'll be overpowered (if that's possible?).

I'm starting to look at buying new. Been looking for an outboard for months now and finding a good used one is tough. If I go new, I'm thinkin' maybe a Suzuki, but those E-tec's sure are nice.
