I've been keeping an eye on CL for the past couple months hoping to find a good deal on a motor upgrade for my Alumacraft F7.
There's been an 18hp Nissan 4 stroke short shaft with electric start listed for almost 3 weeks now. The owner is asking 1000 and will not budge. It's really perfect for my boat being short shaft, and I would like electric start. It looks really clean and is supposed to run well.
What I'm wondering is how good of a deal that is. If it's only so-so, I'd rather save the money and wait until spring to upgrade. If it's a good deal I could probably scrape up enough to buy it.
There is also a titling issue, the motor is in a neighboring state that doesn't title outboards, my state does and requires registration. The seller says all I need a signed bill of sale. Thoughts?
What do you guys think about the price?
