Not much around this side of the pond. I've just bought a pair of 2003 225hp opti's for £6500 from the USA. So much more choice at better prices over there. Expect to pay £250-400 shipping for a motor that size though.

Theres a few companies on USA ebay who specialize in S/H outboards and ship worldwide. They haven't left yet so I'll cross the import duty bridge when I come to it. At least I know I'm not paying VAT as they're going straight on to the Channel islands

I have a secondhand Yamaha 150 HPDI. It has done 3 seasons on one of our tour RIBs - FSH - had full winter service/layup (Nov) by Yampower Glasgow so new impellor, plugs etc. Yamaha diagnostics downloads available.

Dunno, seller is (meant to be) sorting that out. Auction ended 18th Feb and he still hasn't sent them yet

Miller · 13 March 2008, 20:21

Well, I m sorted on the engine front...Finding a good second hand engine is like finding rocking horse poo! and I never made it to Portsmouth to look at the opti 150.

So, instead I have bitten the bullet and brought a brand spankers optimax 175!

I am now very seriously skint, so I would like to sell my 200 2 stroke if anyone wants to make a sensible offer or know the best place to sell it.

Please dont say ebay!!...AArgh!!
