Got Boat, Just Need Motor

When I said cold, I mean when it's 20 degrees out, they take a while to crank start. But no more than any other motor I guess.

3 pulls on my mariner will fire it up as cold as I am willing to be out. The carbs can be tuned if need be. One of my buddies is a yamaha tech.

Lilley, if I were in the market for a 25 I'd jump on it, or if I had the money to do a jet conversion of my own. My primary focus is a motor that can go in the buffalo though. Maybe some day I'll have some extra play money and can get a 25 for the White too. Definitely wasn't a knock on your motors. The fact that they hold up so well in every other way says a lot about the Yamahas.

Mike - after running my 50lb tiller handle motor on my boat, I've realized that a 24v system is probably overkill and certainly too much battery weight. I'm looking for a 12v 55lb now.

Muddy - how old is your motor? The one I'm looking at is pretty old but well maintained. The guy just wants top dollar for it.

mine is a 1998. I practically stole it off tradio for $600. Honest to god I was driving to town to get a loan on a brand new one when I heard it on the radio. MO titles, and never been on the white river. If you want a deal on a 9.9 you need to scour craigslist.

I talked to a guy a couple of days ago that has a 55lb thrust MinnKota w/remote that he was wanting to sell. His name was Jeff and his phone # was 870-321-6716 if your interested.
