PC,

From what I've heard they're no different that car dealers if that tells you anything.

You're better off trying to sell it via Craigslist or Ebay. I would think You should get a good price for it. Yamahas are a well respected brand.

Yeah unfortunately it is a 1989 200 Yamaha and has a bad shift shaft. That means the power head has to be lifted just to have that 100 dollar part put in.

Also it sucks bad on gas. Maybe a few gallons every couple of miles, if that.

Ouch!

Three options: fix it and use it; fix it and sell it; part it out...

My yamaha and BS both had the shift rod go, it sucks to replace!!
BS fixed his own with his dad, I took mine to a good Yamaha guy that fixed it in 1/2 a day.

Its a tuff call, what are the compression #'s Does the oil injection still work?? (Thats what killed mine last year) You could fix, but I am sure it will be like $500+ and thats not money your going to get back.

So fix it and use or part out, more hassle parting out, but you will make out much better $$$ wise!
