classicfish444 Posted July 16, 2019 Author Report Posted July 16, 2019 Lowered to $4500 OBO. I wish I could buy a brand new 2001 engine in the box again. Lots of life left in this one...
HoneyB Posted July 17, 2019 Report Posted July 17, 2019 I would assume that since you plan to Repower with yamaha you plan to keep all the control cables?
classicfish444 Posted July 17, 2019 Author Report Posted July 17, 2019 Price includes all cables. Water test can be done in West Palm area. Re-power will be done in Tampa area.
triplec Posted July 17, 2019 Report Posted July 17, 2019 Good looking engine. I am always wondering how much life is left in mine and whether to sell while she runs to re-power or wait until she doesn't then do it. If you have access and haven't already maybe post your ad on the MBG facebook page and maybe their marketplace. I have struggled lately on here to sell things here, post them there and it takes about an hour lol. Those older 2 strokes that are priced right seem to go really quick there.
classicfish444 Posted July 17, 2019 Author Report Posted July 17, 2019 Thanks. I have really taken care of it. If someone washes the boat with me I always tell them " I'll do the engine "!! No sand on my sponge... you get my drift. It was a hard decision but I want another 15-20 yrs with a new one. Thanks for the info I will look into the other possible posting avenues.
Lap it Up Posted July 19, 2019 Report Posted July 19, 2019 Just out of curiosity... What boat is it on? Looks like a nice pad bottom.
classicfish444 Posted July 22, 2019 Author Report Posted July 22, 2019 I have lowered the price of Yamaha 175 HPDI again I owned a classic 1992 Hewes Redfisher 18 purchased new in 1992 from Bob Hewes Boats in Miami. I wish I could have kept it. Had lot's of great memories in that boat.
classicfish444 Posted July 22, 2019 Author Report Posted July 22, 2019 Love the Young 20 I own now but really miss my Hewes

classicfish444 Posted July 24, 2019 Author Report Posted July 24, 2019 Just completed a pressure test on engine. 3 cylinders at 110 and 3 cylinders at 105...........
classicfish444 Posted August 1, 2019 Author Report Posted August 1, 2019 This is a great engine and I only had a pressure test to satisfy a potential buyer. Lowered to $4500.00 OBO
classicfish444 Posted September 11, 2019 Author Report Posted September 11, 2019 Available for water test in Jupiter / West Palm Beach
nicecast Posted September 16, 2019 Report Posted September 16, 2019 Shocked this is still available. This is a perfect, lightweight engine for the RF and MA 17-18 class, among many others. Have you listed it on Facebook? The Maverick and Trick my skiff groups would be good choices, among others.
classicfish444 Posted September 19, 2019 Author Report Posted September 19, 2019 Thanks for the info. Have someone looking at it this week. Will try the skiff groups like you suggest.
classicfish444 Posted September 29, 2019 Author Report Posted September 29, 2019 SOLD SOLD SOLD!! Thanks to everyone who helped with this sale. I hope I am making the right move with the re-power of a new Yamaha 175SHO 4-stroke. It's only money!!
