Yamaha Hi Thrust 50HP

[Zebra]

Going to a auction sat. 6/17 and they have a motor from a city they are gonna auction off. 1998 Yamaha Hi Thrust 50 4 stroke T50TLRW. No way to ck it out comes with controls, guages and a prop. its sittin on a pallet. What could it be worth. I think its a 20" shaft. NADA says over $2,000 but not being able to ck it out. I called yamaha and they would not tell me what city had it and it only came with a 1 year warranty. 8 years old and a city had it, pretty sure fresh water but what a gamble.

So, the warranty expired 7 years ago, or are they providing a new 1 year warranty for the new owner?

Take a battery and a compression tester with you and check it out.

What are you planning to put it on?

I personally wouldn't take the gamble...probably many many hours on it. They won't let you even try to start it??? what are they hiding?

I guess if it's going cheap enough and figure it would need a rebuild...then maybe ???
