I second that. Both Yamaha's on my 250 needed tilt tubes, shift shafts, tilt trim motors, all new fuel lines. I came out ahead repowering my V20 with a newer motor! If the motors are in bad condition, I would suggest selling them and installing a single 250 or higher 30" shaft outboard.

hmmm all good points.... thx... I think I would have to be a LOT closer to this boat and spend a lot of time looking it over my self to make a decision.... I think I might enjoy the boat BUT after much thought I think it's likely to have enough problems to make it a bad buy..... now, if he'd take $300........ lol



gonna pass.... thx for all the input salties :)

Definitely not worth travelling from your twenty.

I enjoy talking boats and on the rare occasion I actually have some personal knowledge I'm always glad to share.

I didn't realize you were in freshwater until the last post... stay away from salt water outboards.

You know how dog's age works, It almost the same for fresh/salt outboards as it is for man/dog. lifespan.
