    Default Need A Motor


    Allen's motor on his boat has spun a prop so he's now looking for something between a 60-75 hp. If anybody runs across one at a reasonable price be sure to let me know. Oh, I'd assume he'd want either an Evinrude or Johnson since we dont have any Mercury mechanics in our immediate area. It's for a Tracker boat and his transom measures 20". Thanks.

    Saw this on the Colunbia craigs list. 2001 Yamaha 40hp (4 Stroke)
    Wish I could have found one like this for my boat. I ended up with a 95 Yamaha 55HP. It runs just fine, but this is a lot newer and better on gas.

    The motor actually broke a rod inside that goes from the head to the foot. Allen was told he had to buy gears and all...that you just couldnt get the one piece and the parts are gonna cost more than he wants to put into such an old motor. I shoulda made myself clear. Sorry.

    If it broke the shaft from powerhead to lower unit he just needs a new lower unit. Unless he just wants to upgrade.molehill ask around for you . I know where a few are.
