redzone1 Posted August 12, 2015 Report Share Posted August 12, 2015 There are crabbers in my area that put 5,000 on them before buying new....all they do is change the oil and lower unit oil. They don't even change water pump impellers. One claims he put nearly 10,000 on a Honda before it finally broke a ring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaitTank Posted August 12, 2015 Report Share Posted August 12, 2015 Now what about that VMAX in the back ground of photo two.....FS? LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattconrad Posted August 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2015 That VMAX has already sold. This 150 is still available and I do take trade ins! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BKW Posted August 28, 2015 Report Share Posted August 28, 2015 Why do you have this motor? I mean why would someone get rid of this motor with so few hours? Prop included? Do you have a business name? I have a 2003 VMAX HPDI 150 with 520 hours and am considering going to a 4 stroke. It's had a full fuel system service and a new oil pump. I was considering going to a new SHO 225 but am interested in learning about his motor. Seems a bit much for a 7/8yr old motor but am interested in learning more. Thanks.

sctiger Posted August 30, 2015 Report Share Posted August 30, 2015 Brian, please contact me in regards to your vmax. May be interested in buying. 843-543-9002. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattconrad Posted August 31, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2015 To answer your questions: I have this engine as a trade in toward a lighter 115. The boat was way overpowered with the 150. As far as the hours go it is not unusual for me to have engines with under 100 hours. I am the me/myself/I guy in the business. There are several members of this forum that have bought engines and parts off of me and are very satisfied. I have nice stuff. I would take your engine in on trade. Just give me a call anytime. As far as the price goes I do not think it is high as I have sold dozens of them in the same price range. I do get a higher price than others but I also have really nice stuff. I just sold a 2005 with 160 hours for $ 9400. $ 200 more and you get a 3 year newer engine with half the hours. Also, all of my engines are fully serviced using only Yamaha parts and all of the 150s have the balancer upgrade done ($800). Feel free to call me anytime at 352-317-5105 anytime.

mattconrad Posted September 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2015 That is about 5 hours from my shop driving time to Gainesville, Florida and I do ship engines all over the country at a very reasonable rate. Probably looking at about $ 250 to Charleston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stashedhis Posted September 28, 2015 Report Share Posted September 28, 2015 Thanks In Advance What is a balancer Upgrade? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattconrad Posted September 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2015 The balancer shaft ***embly on Yamaha F150s needs be changed to the newer design. If it is not changed the engine is at risk of blowing. Not worth the risk. Usual cost to have this done is $ 600-$800. There is a fiber gear that comes apart on the balancer on the older style. The way to tell if you have the older style is if the engine has a slight wine on the balancer. Most people cannot hear it until I point it out to them, then they say "Oh yeah, I hear it now". The new balancer has an oil port that constantly squirts oil on the gears. I do not sell a Yamaha F150 without it done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
