Im in ohio.

I really dont know what to do at this point. I want to hold on to it, but at the same time i dont want to mess with it. the outboard guy i want to look at it is booked solid. If i could find a decent motor for the right price i would just buy it and be done but that doesnt seem to be happening

Hold out until November or so, and you will have NO problems finding a good used engine from people using the off season to repower to newer engines.

X2 What Ferm said. This is the wrong time of the year to be looking to sell or buy for that matter. In the off season deals come cheap and fast. People are looking to buy boats in the spring, not in the fall. So if you sell your boat now you will be selling at the worse time. But people are looking to repower in the fall so they are ready for the spring... so a lot of nice engines come on the market for a lot cheaper than the same engine in the summer will cost. It's just a matter of timing. PLUS, taking the time to wait for the better deals will give you more time to actually think about either selling the boat or keeping it. You'll be able to make a more informed decision.

i have found a 87 225 johnson thats the right price if it checks out... i know the v20s were rated for 200 but i believe ive saw a few on here with 225s hanging on to them?


opinions is a 225 too much or worth a shot?
