I question the model year really being a 2003 as advertised - because I have a 2000 150 FICHT ... and the cowling looks exactly like the one in the photo. Every 2002 and newer cowling I have ever seen - look significantly different.

Exactly! If it sounds too good to be true......This is what a 2003 150 FICHT should look like....Caveat Emptor!



I guess maybe it's not the correct cowling, but for the price I doubt it. Maybe it was rebuilt in 2003. I emailed the seller, let's see.

Post that info when you get it, curious.

yea seems kinda fishy....i wrote him with a bunch of questions and got a pretty short reply.

i asked him ..transom and floor was ok....if the motor was rebuilt, did he ever have any problems with it...how many hours did it have on it and a few others... this is what he replied..

"no rot on anything, I bought used the former owner bought motor new, 40-50 hrs on it. Had boat serviced in Aug when I had the new fishfinder installed"

This is the email I received:

I will get my husband to get that for you he will not be back until this later this afternoon.

I asked if the year was correct and for the serial number. I have a feeling the "husband" will not be emailing me. ::)

I emailed the high bidder and warned him, told him to come here and see thread. I HATE scammers!!!

[TheTinMan]

Well, after a couple emails to the seller AND bidders, the seller just added this to the ad:

Sorry for confusion about motor, motor was purchased new in April of 2003, have receipt of purchase. Mfg. in May of 2000... Model E150FPXSSM Serial G04874662.

Makes a big difference! I wouldn't want that motor!

Willy, watch your language. I was actually criticized at work recently because I'm not "curmudeonly enough," the knock on me is that I'm a hell of a nice guy, you old codger. ;D
