Pricing New Motor

[Blue_Runner]

The reason the price sounds so high is because of the word "new."

I don't know if there are any deals like this around any more but I got a new leftover 2004 Yamaha 150 2 stroke in 2005 for $7300 installed. I already had controls and oil tank so I didn't have to incur the extra cost. It was a great deal even back then. I didn't have to pay sales tax either because I bought it from an out of state marine dealer who shipped to a local dealer. Bottom line is any new motor is going to be a ridiculous price, unfortunately.

Hm, I can build you a 65mph+ wellcraft, all new interior, wiring, blah blah blah, for that kind of money.....LOLOL

Oh ya, and that would include a bravo 1 prop....LOL

I will probably try to find a used fuel injected outboard. I need something that will give me good mileage. What about an 86 150 Yamaha 25" shaft? I can build a jack plate. I forgot all about my 250 Sportsman. I might borrow one of its motors.

Sounds a bit high to me.

new motors are high, I just quoted a guy on a new F90 Yamaha at $7800(freakin deal on a new motor), plus roughly $1000 in controls, harness, gauges and key switch assembly. That should give you an idea on what they sell for. Those 2 stroke carb 150 Yamaha's are left over 07's(last year you could sell a carb 2 stroke), they start the warranty when they're sold, they were selling for $7500 a few years ago.
