My Force's Value

Now MJ don't tell me you wouldn't even use it for an anchor. *What would the value be for a 1990 150HP Force with controls and gages? *It runs good and can be water tested. *Bily Mac *;D

According to NADA (nadaguides.com);

http://nadaguides.com/Values/ValueRe...el=17000800179

If it runs as well as you say it does, probably as much as $1000. ??? Probably somewhere in between would be my guess.

Whatcha thinking about Billy MAC?

150 etec ;D

I was hoping around $1000. AT $450 I'd be better to part it out but don't want the hassle or storage problem. Billy Mac ;D

Well. If you read down the bottom of that NADA page, it states, "Outboard Motors in exceptional condition can be worth a significantly higher value than the Average Retail Price shown."
And, since yours includes controls and gauges, go for it brudda. ;) 8)

mac..i've been watching forces on ebay for over a year....a running force with gauges and controls on ebay would prob go from anywhere $700-1200+...depending what season...winter on low end...spring is when you want to put it up for sale.

Plus the fact that yours is a ''freshwater only'' motor, should enhance the value even more ... go for it, Mac ...that E's gonna be SAWEET !! 8) !! ... heck, if you're talkin' to the right dealer, he might allow you that much trade-in value??...who knows...won't hurt to ask ... ;) ...

Mac, while the 150 is definatley enough, I'd seriously consider the 175 or even the 200. They are all the same bock and weight (427 lbs.) I don't care about the extra top end too much but crusing the same speed at lower RPM's woud be nice...should be even better economy and less strain on the motor, better resale if that time ever comes too. Did you know E-TECS are self winterizing?! Cool feature.

self winterizing? How does that work?

When the Auto-Winterization feature is activated, the EMM rapidly cycles the oil injector to "fogs" the engine. When the winterize cycle is complete (about 1 minute), it will automatically shut the engine off. Once the engine has turned off, turn off the key switch (if equipped), remove the engine from the water or from the flushing device and allow the water to drain from the engine. Your Evinrude E-TEC is ready to be placed into storage. The only additional item we recommend is to remove the propeller and inspect the propshaft and seal to ensure there is no fishing line wrapped around it.
