Your up early. You gonna really kill them crappie when you get that boat ready. I have tortured them in the hole I fished with you before.
Dont sound great, but depends on the condition of the motor.
What up seek, went out and caught a couple today over that way.

Mods might remove this but im sure david wont mind. 256/751/0493.
Small outboards today are like old pickups. If they are in good shape they get down to a certain point then just stay there. Most is going to depend on what kind of shape it's in and sure check compression. That's one of those motors if taken care of will run forever.
that sounds high, that motor should probably be about half that price...Sometimes nadaguide.com will have good estimates on how much an outboard should cost of that year model.
It seems a little like an "if you can hear it run" deal to me. It's hard to say if you'll find one cheaper though. Old outboards are getting hard to come by (at least for me!)
If david sells you one it will be a little higher than that, but you can bet its right or he'll make it right. And yes you dont get these motors cheap, most people keep em.
Thanx guys on the advice, i went to check it out and the knows his stuff. He would also offer a warranty.
