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

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.

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

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.
