I am on the hunt for an outboard for my 14 footer. This would be my first outboard. There is a guy selling one locally on CL, this is from the ad...
"5 hp Sears Gamefisher outboard motor, starts and runs well. Newly rebuilt carb, new prop. Great condition, other than the shift handle is missing. $100"
Does that seem like a good deal to yall? I take it that the shift handle is the steering/throttle handle. How expensive/difficult to find is that part?
How long do these motors run? I am going to pick up a 6 gallon and wanted to get an idea of how long 6 gallons of gas would last me. Sorry to ask so many newbie questions, but I would appreciate any knowledge yall could send my way!
thanks!
