Thanks for the info guys. The motor I'm asking about is from a shop in Florida called M W Outboards. I'm in NJ so I would have to pay shipping and then have it rigged up from a marina in my area. Problem I'm having is the company I got approved t finance with will only approve the loan if the dealer I purchase from does the install. Also purchasing a used motor from that far away doesn't sit well with me in case something went wrong with the motor. I also got a price for a new Yamaha F150 at $12,000 before install cost but I wouldn't need gauges or controls since I'm replacing a Yamaha but I think the monthly payment will be higher than I would like for right now. My other option is the purchase a new lower unit for my current motor and see if that fixes the issue.
I was also considering maybe a smaller motor to save a few bucks like a 135 but I'm not sure if that would be enough for my boat. 1993 V21. Any thoughts on this? Last edited by Rusty5387; 07-21-2018 at 02:15 AM.

I would be VERY careful buying a motor i have not looked at in person. I did a search on THT and came up with very little feedback. Lotta outboard pirates in florida. They promise you the moon on the phone

What Phat said.
Plus something to consider is why has someone taken a perfectly good running engine off a boat and put it up for sale.

Exactly what Phat said. The only 150s Ive seen sold in good condition were ones thate were on boats that were underpowered. Scout was known to put 150s on some models that were too big for a 150. they show up for sale every once in a while, but not often. Which is why I said that's a good deal if the mot0r was in good shape and installed. Seeing that motor is in Florida would give me pause. The last 150 in good shape I ran across came off of a 230 Abaco, boat was on a lake, guy repowered with a 225. The motor was 8 years old but in great shape, sold for $8500. I could sell them all day long in that condition. The only other way you generally find a good used 150 is if its the good one out of a pair where one went bad, but you have to wonder if that one is next. Always check the numbers to see if its a left hand motor with a right hand gearcase, sure sign its the orphan from a pair
