    Default Motor recommendations


    I just had my boat motor blow up on me over the past weekend. I'm looking for a 50-75 HP tiller and wanted to know if anyone knew who had the best deals on a new motor. I'm in southern Illinois in murphysboro and don't mind driving a bit for a good deal but probably not more than 3-4 hours from here. Any help would be appreciated, and I'm hoping to buy one by the weekend if possible since I can't stand not to be able to be on the lake especially during prime time.

    I cant help on dealers, but the Yamaha F70 has great HP to weight ratio and is a super motor.

    Thanks guys, but already bought one this morning from a place here on the outskirts of town. Ended up with a 60hp tohatsu for a deal I couldn't pass up, it was so good of a deal I had to buy a new helix 10 megaimaging to go with it.
