New Engine

[Blue_Runner]

I have an '04 model - same engine.

The first thing I'd question is whether or not it is really an '08 - can't remember but it seems like '06 or '07 might have been the last year for the carbed 2 stroke? Maybe not, but easy enough to look at the model number and find out.

Mine came w/ a 2 year warranty and I've seen others that had the 2 year warranty. It stands to reason he is selling it because:

a) out of warranty
b) upgrading to 4-stroke
c) he needs a 20" shaft (see the jackplate?) or
d) he's broke as a joke
e) all of the above

Yamaha premium side flush mount controls run low to mid $300's new and cables will set you back another $75 or so. Not to mention the prop which tends to be pretty expensive.
