Bad News
 

Had to bring the boat to the shop because it won't start..... Guy just called.....$4500 to fix it. Blown power head, warped flywheel, starter gone, all motor electrical is fried.....

Anyone know of a place to get a used 2 stroke motor...make don't matter...prefer a yamaha....beggers can't be choosers....price list is as cheap as possible

What is a betters

Break Out Another Thousand....giving the age of your engine that is about the average lifespan of a 2 stroke carb motor. Sucks bro I will keep an eye out for a used one for you.

Man that sucks. Good luck finding one. I will keep my eyes open for one.

look up John Rivette on the google thing.......
My Uncle rebuilds motors for him.
They may (MAY) give you a little something for your old motor.

yeh u can at least get something for your lower unit. try the boat yard in marrero for a used motor.

A "refurbished" one from e-bay will be better than the one he has. :rolleyes:

just one more plug..........

John goes through ALL his motors before sold.
if it's broke my Nunc fixes.

He is by far the go to guy around here for two strokes.

That is the guy I was talking about when you called Jordan. Could not think of the name. Been there a few times,he has alot of used motors.

Well Pookie just dropped mine off to get the choke fixed last week. Come to find out my transom is extremely soft and my motor was about to fall off. Gonna cost me $1k to put a metal bracket on the back to reinforce it.

Jordan sorry to hear the bad news.... If you look around enough I am sure you can find something. If I hear of anything I will let you know.

What H.P.? i know some one with 2 used Merc. 200 little old but hardly used and cheap. And he lives 5 minutes from the lake.

150-200 HP... What type merc ?? Contact info ??

I got 2 merc 200s long shafts for sale

Boss, got pics ?? Year ?? Controls ?? I only need 1

Jordan they have some for Sale on LSM

Jordan, "there" Mercs.......better get 'em both. :cool: :D

Huh? You must not be talking about the whaler?

Jordy......don't listen to salty or ASR.......mercs rock the house bro!!!!

As long as they rock it and not bring it down, were good

Yes, the whaler! :(

Jordan, im trying to send you a P.M. but its not working. just give me a shout 337-658-8000

Friend of mine has a 200 Yamaha. It runs but cold use a rebuild. You could prob run it for a while the way it is.

Had a PM for a guys #... called him..... He has (2) mercurcy 200hp ('99) EFI motors that are dual................ my question is........ can these motors fit the same johnson controls ?

those mercs make great anchors

well, the johnson is making a great yard ornament.... i dont care to hear about how awesome this motor is over that motor.... i need something

Called Jerrys Marine in Sulphur.... he's going to get back with me tomorrow on what he can do..... bump to the top just in case this falls through !!

Finfeatherfur has a friend who bought that Contender.
He said they were changing out the 2 stroke Yamaha's to 4 strokes.
He might be able to get you one.
I doubt a Johnson control system will fit a Merc. or Yamaha motor.

with all the bass boats up there you should be able to find a toledo motor with less corrosion than one that's lived in SWLA forever.

I am pretty sure he needs a motor with a 25" shaft

Try Genes Marine in Lake Charles 337-474-2125. Yamaha told me i needed a new motor too, so i called Genes Marine and he asked to take a look at my motor and found some used parts and fexed it cheap.

thanks for the information, this one is beyond repair.....:cry:

He can find used motors too if you wanna give him a call.

thanks for the information man !!!

it probably will...

Don't sit by the phone waiting for his call...........it probably won't happen.

I never had any good dealing with them.

x2

Just called Melissa-------no "used" motors in my price range... she said everything was $6,000 and up....


Note: i had to call them

Jordan...ive seen boss hogs mercs ..(Nice)..and you can rely on his word if he says they r good!

Jordan I hate to tell you but I doubt that you will get anything worth a dang for less than 6K......

http://www.louisianasportsman.com/lp...e267f05858e924 Yamaha 250 for 3800...that will be hard to beat.

Jordan, you can call J&J Marine in Jennings too. He sometimes has used motors for sale, that's where I bought my lil 25 from.

Landry's Outboards (985) 758-7948 He rebuilds most of them himself and does good work. HWY190 just past Houma. I bought one (2000 Evinrude Fitch 200), had a little trouble at first and he really stood behind his work.

i got a 200 Merc
 

rebuilt by Jerry in November 2008...I've got all the receipts and I've documented all my time on the water - I don't have that documentation with me here at work but I think I've got less than 50 hours on a complete rebuild...new pistons, rods, bearings...like I said, I've got the detailed receipt of all the parts and labor.

I've been considering re-powering with a 4 stroke...maybe we can help each other out and make a deal.

its a 2002 carbed Merc 200...rebuilt in November 2008.

PM me some information... on a budget though.... maybe we can work something out.

Jordon..what kind of motor you have that is burned up??

200hp Johnson ocean runner '95

Sorry for your loss...

There is an outfit around Boutee, off of Highway 90, that has used motors for sale...

Good luck...
