I had a Mariner 40 (no power trim) on my old 5m Tornado which pulled my mate 14stone + up on a wake board . Don't recall what size or pitch prop I was using.

I don't have kit to do a compression test, but can certainly give it a visual once over and check.

Worth throwing this into the mix. Mariner 2002 ELPT 50hp 4-stroke. Out-with budget... but that's what banks are for. Sainsbury bank offer pretty competitive short-term loans at decent rates. http://www.seamarknunn.co.uk/download/usedob/used.pdf

thanks for the offer! I gave him a ring and he was moody as sin, like he didn't want to know. Don't understand some people ahah.

Thanks for all the suggestions guys.

One question I have is do outboard decrease in power much as they get older or is it just minute? As in a 2004 yamaha 60 will have more power than a 1995 yamaha 60?

There is this but not sure how heavy the 50hp 4 stroke carbed mariners are. I think they are around 105kg.

If he was a genuine seller, than he would welcome any inspection and should be able to talk about the engine at length. I can only apologise, we're usually applauded for our hospitality in this neck of the woods.

No judgement

I presume this is probably too big? suzuki dt65 outboard for sale | eBay

This is even older, but they're bullet-proof. Probably mid to late 80s. No idea if it's electric trim. Ebay purchases are bit of a hit or miss - they really need to checked over before committing to bid.

I can vouch for Mark at MES Marine. Bought a load of stuff off him, keeps plenty of stock, has a vast amount of spares (new and reconditioned) and he's a decent, genuine guy with three full-time, accredited, mechanics.

Definately give him a call.

really good find....only 1/2 hour running time! but i really dont have the money to do that. Also im not upgrading, I dont actually have an outboard

Thanks for the suggestion though, really appreciate it

Update on the 50hp mariner 4 stroke....weighs 104kg so thats ok.
Some people tell me its easier to pull a skier with a 4 stroke some with a 2 stroke what do you reckon? will this be man enough to pull a mono?
he sent me a load of pics and a video of it running. He wants £1600

Good find. About the only way to source a decent 2-stroke these days. Would the boat shift on its own minus an engine?
