Know what you mean about the tire kickers. I like to wheel and deal, and I always build some negotiation room into the price, but some people will nit pick the hell out of something, then try to beat you up on the price, offering half. Tell them to go buy a new one.

I sold an 89 110 20" with controls for $800, and that's what I was asking. I had a guy drive 2 1/2hrs to offer me $400. Another came and thought it would be newer? I wound up selling it to a guy that knew what it was and didn't even haggle with me.

Carbs all straightened out and one coil replaced, she's purring like a kitten now.

I've told a couple people about your engine, only reason they haven't bought it is the drive.

I wish I would've dug it out of the back of my garage a month sooner than I did. Getting colder up here and no one needs an engine. I may part it out and keep a few of the new things that will work on my 200. The tilt/trim motor has like 10 mins use time on it alone, and it's a factory piece.

Swap the tilt /trim units, keep the new one for yourself, keep the rest of the engine whole and in a few months you'll be able to get top dollar for it as the weather turns warm again. Nothing like springtime to make a person think of fishing and suddenly realize he needs an engine.

Or come springtime they fire up there engine to find out they didnt winterize it correctly, or an animal got in it and chewed things up, and they want a cheap engine to get back on the water. Boat stuff sells in spring, even down here where we boat all year, springtime is when demand and prices go up. This is the time of year where budget shoppers buy because they know supply is up and demand is down.
