[QUOTE="Hydrilla, post: 132343, member: 863"] Sounds like an OK deal considering the year. I wouldn't consider it a steal, but many motors from around that year go for $800-1200, and aren't in as good shape. Tohatsu/Nissan, Honda and Yamaha seem to hold their value well. It seems to vary quite a bit depending on the region. Stuff seems more expensive here than I see in some other states, when I see listings. If it's worth it to you and it checks out to be a good motor, then I say go for it. I will recommend that you get as close to maxing out the horsepower for whatever boat you get, as you are able. My boat is rated for a 15 and that's what I have. It is fast and planes quickly, even with two 200+ lb guys and too much gear. If I had a 9.9, that might not be the case, I think. By the way, welcome! [/QUOTE]
