Hi Guys,
I hate to post again about another possible purchase, but I really have no one else to ask about the price or whatnot. The guy says it was last used 5 years ago but works and only needs a fuel line from tank to motor. Has anyone here ever used a 1988 Yamaha or know anything about them? I know the parts are readily available, so that's a relief. But are these well made motors? I'll take my brother with me (or gf's father) to look at it, but the guy was asking $500, but I talked to him down to 400. Is that a better deal than $300 for a 1966 Evinrude? My gut says yes, though my wallet says no, lol. Anything else I should know about these motors? I think I might be able to spend a bit more on my first motor since I might be getting a free boat. We'll see. Thanks!
