second hand outboards?

[Graham Nash]

I have been looking at a "project" for over the winter. The engine is my concern. Ideally I would like an inboard but i think that may be more work than I am capable of doing so it looks like outboard is the way to go.

 

I see I can buy a brand new optimax 125 for around 7 1/2 grand or a 150 for around 9 grand, both of which are more than I want to spend (if I can spend less). My question is ... where do all the second hand engines go? I rarely see any second hand ones other than on ebay.

 

Is there anyone here that possibly works in the marine industry that gets to see good second hand engines?

 

Thanks,

Graham.

Have you asked around the dealers (Yellow Penguin, PMS etc)? They take them in part exchange.

Im already in discussion with that guy Mike, he has someone coming to look today (Sunday) and if thats a no go then i might have a look. He has done some bits to it that I am not a fan of, but it's a diesel british raider (which are supposed to be much better than mine????)
