Yamaha Hi Thrust 50HP

[Zebra]

Going to a auction sat. 6/17 and they have a motor from a city they are gonna auction off. 1998 Yamaha Hi Thrust 50 4 stroke T50TLRW. No way to ck it out comes with controls, guages and a prop. its sittin on a pallet. What could it be worth. I think its a 20" shaft. NADA says over $2,000 but not being able to ck it out. I called yamaha and they would not tell me what city had it and it only came with a 1 year warranty. 8 years old and a city had it, pretty sure fresh water but what a gamble.
