Wtb Boat Motor

[moduck38834]

Hey guys....I'm looking for a 7.5-12 horse short shaft motor for my jon boat. I also have an 18 Horse that I would be willing to trade with to get the motor. The 18 horse has a clean title(should have the new one in about 10 business days), and just needs some minor things done such as cleaning the carbs and setting the points. It is a 67 model Johnson for those interested. It is just a little heavier than I would like for the boat. Don't have to trade though guys, I'm willing to buy the other motor straight out if price is right. If you know of anything out there, send me a PM.....Thanks fellas!

Tight Lines,

Chris

Moduck, I have a 1992 9.9 HP Evinrude, but it is a long shaft model. In fact, it's an extra long shaft. It was a kicker motor on a walleye boat. It was running great when I took it off to upgrade in Nov. '07.

Contact me if you'd like a photo.

MD,

couple of questions,..does your jon have a tall or short mount plate on it ( you can always change that depending on how top heavy it makes the boat and is it a paddle jon or square stern?

My old jon had a motor jack on it that worked great...ran a long shaft for years and had the plate set where I could jerk the motor clean outta the water if need be.

Just thinkin on your problem...I'm thinkin a motor jack might help alot w/your 18 horse....maybe not but worth a thought.

Thanks guys.....the 18 just weighs too much....you wouldn't want to come off the throttle too quick or you'd likely sink the back end of the boat. Just flat out weighs too much. As to the long shaft....just can't make do with a long shaft...I'm a duck hunter too and a short shaft is a must to get to the places I go with the jon. As to the jon...just a plain jane 14' 36". BTW, still looking. Was supposed to hear back from a guy about a 7.5 but haven't yet.

So, does anyone know of a small engine repair guy or marine shop that has any used motors around the Springfield/Branson/Lebanon/Bolivar area? The guy that had the 7.5 said he was going to adjust something on the motor and call me when it was ready over the weekend. Sunday evening I e-mail him and he says he sold it already. So, I'll state this again, for everyone here....have cash on hand.....also have an 18 HP if anyone is interested in a trade or will sell after other is purchased. Trade is not mandatory! Would like to have a working, clear titled motor by the weekend. Thanks for everyone's help,

Chris

Just picked up a 9.9. Thanks guys. I know there was one or two of you interested in the 18. I'll get you some pics if you will send me your e-mails, or I'll just meet up with you somewhere if you are in the Springfield area.
