[QUOTE="lugoismad, post: 450539, member: 16518"] I put my 25hp OMC on my new 16' boat but it just didn't have enough balls. She topped out at 9mph. I'm going to look at mid 70's 50hp OMC tomorrow. The pictures look immaculate, like I could eat off the engine block. Its an older guy and he says he upgraded because he wanted electronic trim because the motor was getting too heavy for him to lift by hand to put his transom saver on. It came off a running boat (actually, the exact same make and model of boat I have) last year, he fogged it and put it away. He's asking $600 OBO, and I told him I'm driving a long way and I hate to ask this on the phone but would he entertain lower offers. he said we could talk when I get there, but he would certainly be up to discuss the price a bit. Is a mid 70's OMC 50hp in good shape (with controls) worth $600? If not, what should I consider paying? Thanks! [/QUOTE]
