[QUOTE="thill, post: 509765, member: 4972"] So NJ is a hotspot for cheap outboards. That is interesting, but not the greatest news for the OP. I see nice motors in NJ on Marketplace, but the prices are so low that it seems suspicious. I want to upgrade the current 150 Evinrude on my 22' Offshore (which runs great,) to a 4-stroke, but they are asking ~$9-10K for anything with less than 1,000 hours around here. I would rather buy new for $14k with warranty than pay that much for a 10-year-old motor with a thousand hours on it. Then I see the same motors in NJ for $5k. I'll be honest. It's a bit scary driving 5 hours away with a pocket full of cash, to what appears to be a higher-crime area for a deal that seems too good to be true. I don't want to get ripped off or worse. But I digress. Back to the original topic, if the OP, Freeisforme wants to bring a trailer full of good motors to VA, I would sell them all, and I'm confident I would get him a minimum of $500 each for anything over 9.9 HP, and I would still make enough to be worth my time. I sell every good motor I post, with no exceptions, usually for my asking price. Serious offer. I only have 5-6 good ones ready for spring, so it would work out just fine. [/QUOTE]
