$1550 with a day left. watcha think skoolz? what would i do with my 175? i wouldnt feel right selling it without mentioning it been underwater. though it ran fine on the test run, at quarter throttle. been just letting her idle for a few every couple days. hate to buy a motor and not need it. will those extra 25 ponies save me fuel? do you wanna hug?tx

well that 200 looks great and might make you feel better at ease on the nerves when out in the water offshore. You 175 running shouldn't hurt it's resale due to it has been pickled and is running. keep running it run the rpm's up and down run it a couple hours then sell cause it will be fine if it runs a couple hours no problems. Thens ell it as a pickled 175 that runs fine.

my concern is the needle *bearings. if just one needle is froze and rubs a flat spot, when it breaks free it gonna bang on the crank and blow the motor. i fogged the pooh pooh out of it. all i could do short of a rebuild. i wouldd love to have a new motor for piece of mind. but, i hate to spend the money. how much more can that 200 go up before its not a great deal anymore? if both motors do run fine, how much better is that 200 than my 175 silver star with ois? other than the obvious? tx bro

keep in mind, i gotta ship that thing to gulfport,ms. bout $350, i reckon.

should not cost that much to ship. and the looper 200 will be better on fuel than the cross flow 150 / 175's were, also if you wanted a 225 just change the carbs over. The loopers are smoother running and usually last longer due to better oiling. That motor is worth at least $2500. But personally i'd want to give around 2000 or less for a good deal. due to shipping. remember it has controls. and prop so you can sell your controls for 100 plus then the 175 motor running for 1100 plus as it is.

wife said get it if i want it. prob is, after ur jeff gordon comment, i just dont know if i can trust you anymore. i mean, everybody knows he is the G.O.A.T. (greatest of all time). also, thier was the pipe diamiter thing,lol.. also, i thought the 92 175 was a looper?

well, i am the current high bidder at 2050 bones. we'll see

i was outbid at 2500, so, they can have it. let me know if you see any others. tx

it kinda is a looper but not the same as the 120 140 185 200 and 225's were.
