4hp kicker

[smokeonthewater]

Lol!
Yeah mine was a '56 rude

I had a 4hp yama/mariner as a kicker for a real short time on my v20. It'd keep you off the rocks or move your boat away from an on coming barge, but that was about all it was good for

[the daydreamer]

I went and looked at the motor again and it looks like brand new. the bad it has not been run in 10 years! Don't know year it is but I got these numbers off of it. model J4RDHENM SERL B08946955. I AM SURE THE CARB NEEDS TO BE CLEANED AND OWNER SAID HE WOULD DO THAT AND MAKE SURE IT RAN. I WOULD THINK YOU WOULD NEED TO REPLACE THE IMPELLER ALSO. WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED JUST DUE TO AGE. WHAT DO YALL THINK? I WAS THINKING ABOUT GETTING A LITTLE JON BOAT JUST TO PUTT AROUND IN. HE WANTS 450.00 I WAS HOPING I COULD GET IT FOR LESS.

92? Something about INTRODUCES but, never made senses to me. I'd do a quick compression check, check spark, and offer him $300 and you'll deal with the carb.

[smokeonthewater]

I'd pull the cord and feel that the compression was decent and then offer $150 as is... This IS a tiny little motor...

At $350 plus you can pick up a 7.5 or better

Putting is fine most of the time but being able to zip back to the dock when a storm surprises you is worth considering.... Unless you REALLY WANT a tiny motor...

It's a 92. I know down here you can't touch a 9.9 or something of that size for less than $800-1000 for a decnet one. I would say the $450 isn't that out of line if the inside is as clean as the outside. From sittign that long plan on redoing the carb with a kit(those gaskets and seals will be hard as rocks from sitting), a full water pump kit as the impeller will be cracked, and the plastic housing should be done as well, a fuel pump(not expensive, but my bet is the diaphram will be hard as a rock from sitting), and also plan on doing all the rubber hoses from sitting.

Yeah I'm cheap lol

The 7.5 or whatever would likely be older...

I paid $75 for my '86 merc 7.5... Ran perfect but needed a lower unit... Then I bought another one with a broken transom clamp for $120 n robbed the lower unit from it... Soooo $195 total

[jrisapirate]

I have a Merc 5hp 4stroke on a 16' Gheenoe. had a 4hp self contained Yam prior

My strong running 30 HP electric start Johnson with controls cost $75. Now I know that I got a great deal, but my point is that you should be able to do better than $450. Unfortunately, it's springtime, and this is the time of the year when prices are at their highest.
