[QUOTE="ober51, post: 90065, member: 1354"] I almost forgot! I saw an ad on Craigslist for a 12' tri hull Starcraft and a 2002 Yammy 9.9 I asked how much for just the motor and he gave me a price I could live with - $800. Checking on NADA (I know it's just a number they give that is sometimes inaccurate) but it was well below that $1000-1200 they said it was worth. The only way I could even afford this was because I basically sold my 1989 8 HP Yammy for double what I paid. I only have a few hundred invested in a motor - so I am VERY happy. The motor hasn't even been used in 5 years except for maintenance. He told me he thought the motor has under 40 hours on it. I was skeptical but I went and took a look and I was convinced. He ran it for me, and boy I was sold. Couple that with the electric start, thruster model, and I was excited. Here are a couple pics. Did I get a good deal or was I/am I delusional, lol. I think it will look good on the boat. Oh, and I will have to build a jack plate or build up the transom I think. Haven't made official measurements, but it's a long shaft, and I believe my transom to be 15". So I will be looking at some good mods in that department. Should I change the lower unit oil? Impeller? Etc? What maintenance should I do if any to this motor? [/QUOTE]
