Hobo Posted June 13, 2022 Report Share Posted June 13, 2022 Hi Folks,,,, I'm upgrading my 2005 Pathfinder 22' Tournament rig... I have purchased a new Yamaha F150 and am offering up for sale the 2005 VZ 200 HPDI engine with 364 total hours... This engine checks out perfect without any evidence of rust or corrosion anywhere.. When you pull the cowling off it looks absolutely brand new... I'm approaching 78 years young and my wife says she will feel a lot more comfortable with me venturing out with a new engine... I'm doing my best to make her (and me ) happy! I'm looking forward to having a four-stroke engine once again... For the time being the VZ 200 HPDI is still mounted on my 22'- PF and I would be happy to slide in into the water for "wet" testing for serious inquires.... I can sell it with or without Yamaha OEM digital gauges... I live in Brunswick, GA.. The price shown here does not include the rigging, gauges or prop... PRICE: $5,000 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coto Posted June 14, 2022 Report Share Posted June 14, 2022 Such a great engine it was perfect for the 22. That’s what I had on my 22 and the performance was outstanding. Great hole shot and my top end was 55 mph…even got it to 57 mph several times. Love that motor good luck on the sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fin-addict Posted June 14, 2022 Report Share Posted June 14, 2022 Great engine great price. Excellent on a 22’. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobo Posted June 14, 2022 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2022 Back Again,,,, Well that certainly didn't take long!! I sold this engine yesterday evening to the first guy who showed up...... I was hooking up to my boat while waiting for a potential buyer to show up to make a test ride... When he arrived I pulled the cowling allowing for a visual inspection before leaving to take it for a test run... I put on the flushing attachment, hooked it up to a water-hose, turned on the faucet, then cranked the engine... That was all he needed... He committed to purchase the motor on the spot without ever taking the test ride... Now I'm second guessing myself thinking perhaps I had set my price too low... Regardless,,, I'm happy... Next Step: hanging the new F150 Yamaha.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either you feel guilty for asking for what people are willing to pay, or you feel stupid for asking less. Regardless, you will put your head on your pillow tonight and sleep easy knowing you got what you needed for it and probably made someone's day. Engines are hard to find right now. Not surprised you sold it so fast, but you are probably lucky he didn't take the transom with him as he pulled away so someone didn't buy it out from under him or bid higher!

Hobo Posted June 24, 2022 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2022 PATHFINDER0883,,,, Quote Those Georgia people... Lol.... You are going to gain quiet but lose torque and speed. Yep,,,, I'm definitely one of those "Georgia People" and proud of it!! And "Yep" again; I did gain quiet but lost torque and speed just like I knew I would,,,,,, however I also increased my fuel economy from 2.4 mpg to 4.7 mpg (based upon my first three hours of "break-in" time)... My top end speed dropped from 50 to 45 mph,,,, however my cruising speed remains about the same at 33-35 mpg while turning 4,200-4400 rpm... I also gained "peace of mind" just knowing the engine pushing my boat was new, not 17 years old... The odds of something going wrong should diminish significantly... Tight lines to you!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fin-addict Posted July 18, 2022 Report Share Posted July 18, 2022 Day late. Would have taken that engine in a heartbeat after being told my 150 vmax is toast today. Just load and ship and nothing more due to you being the seller. 😢🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
