never sold just the outboard.. seems like it would be difficult and demand a lot less $$.. I have an 04' Suzuki 4 stroke short shaft w/418hrs and an 09' hpdi vmax series 2 w/280 hrs... I'd like to keep my bay boats and re-power..got a couple of quotes for new ones, but what do I do with the old ones?? I guess the norm would be to run til' failure, or sell the whole rig...

re-pwr
the 140 zuk is on a 21 tran cat... purchased this one used, in my opinion it's way under powered... i'll repower this one soon if I find a buyer.. the vmax is a 300, with a nice custom painted cowling(thanks again to eric at scb/escb) on a fl flats boat. I want to re-power it 1st thing next yr... guess i'll give it a shot when work slows and I have time to run it for showing....
thanks fellers

I sold my 2012 DF140 for about $4500 iirc, had a shiny brand new computer in it too. If you need to remove them prior to selling then take them out for a ride and get video of them running so you can show it to potential buyers. The dealer who installed my new engine took it out and got video for me so made it easy as the buyer was more inclined to trust their video when the time came.

The outboard and boat market is strong right now, if in good shape shouldn't have any problem selling them. Suziki's have a rep for being super reliable... but if you are the unlucky one good luck at finding a place that actually knows how to work on them, heard this straight from the bassmaster tour guys.Last edited by bossbowman; 06-10-2019, 09:05 PM.
