If someone hears about a well looked after 90 hp four stroke outboard for sale, I'd appreciate if you could send me a PM. Looking for something max. 5 years old, preferably low hours, complete with prop and controls, 20" leg. Yamaha, Suzuki, would look at Honda too. If someone knows of a used 90 hp Etec for sale - that'd be an option too. For a good deal I would travel up island or lower mainland too. Thanks!

Thanks craven. I talked to them today and I am unsure if those camp returns are actually a good deal. I got a quote for a yammi 90 and by the time you add controls, prop, install it is $8.5k and I think this is even before tax. And it would be a motor with 500 hours. The problem with 90 or 115 hp four strokes is that the lodges use them to troll all day - therefore the high hours in one year. I could get a brand new Suzuki 90 for only $1.5k more than that. Makes me wonder. But unfortunately I don't have $10k.

I hear you High Five. And it's not that this idea didn't cross my mind yet. But I do have a limited budget this year (and it will not be better next year unless I win the lottery) and just can't afford a $10-$12k purchase of whatever kind. I am looking at a $6k budget for repowering. Even if I did find a boat/motor package in that range for a motor swap, I have no room to park and sell a second boat. Selling my boat is no option until I have the budget to buy what would be my ultimate dream. I comletely rebuilt my boat and customized it to my needs and no one would be paying what it is worth to me. So I better used it well. So I will keep an eye on the outboard market and if the right offer comes up I will go for it. If you decide to repower, High Five, let me know, maybe we can pull a great deal if we buy in a double package! Lol

Chris I had Liquid Metals weld me help a bracket that raised my transom that few inches and bought a long shaft worked out great. I'm thinking that they charged me $300. Just a thought if you find a good deal on a motor.http://www.sportfishingbc.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=2916&stc=1&d=1327365018 This a picture if it works. That is my old boat but it was on there for 8 years no problems other then the power coat started to peel.

Chris. I used Chris at Forsch Marine when he was working at the other place before he went on his own. So he will know the set-up I had.Here's another shot of it. If I was to do it again I would get it the full way across the Transom,just a cleaner look.

Chris, PM sent
Hi CHris, I have a 2007 f90 that I bought two years ago for a whaler, never got it installed before selling the whaler! "Good news" This motor has 105 hrs on it. Computer read out available. 45hrs under 1000rpm, 42hrs 4-5000 . "Bad news" it has cosmetic scratches due to some thief getting it off the transom and dragging it across the ground, then unable to lift it and left it !!
