email me at: fishingtoo@aol.com
It's in Kent WA

will you take $200?

Fishingtoo,
Where are you located?? Would like to check it out if it's still for sale.

Hi guys, a little more info on the motor & your questions:
$$: yes, would probably sell it at $200, but that would be the lowest I would go.
Where live: I'm in Kent on the east-hill, about
3 miles from hwy 167, 212th st. exit

Motor condition:
Runs: yes
Use: Used 5-10x/year the first 5 years, some of those in saltwater (about 25% my estimate)
Then used only about 2x a year (freshwater) until last 4 years, last 4 years no use at all.
Mechanical condition: Last time used ran fine. Started right up after 4 years last weekend with just 3 pulls. I did notice it was NOT spitting out water from exhaust port. Whatever is causing this occured while motor stored in my garage. Possible impeller stuck??? I'm no mechanic so just guessing it is impeller, but this will require fixing.
Cosmetic: Engine cowling has some scratches from hauling around in pickup & the bottom of my drift boat.
more questions...email or you can call me: 253/854-5012 Dave
