upgrade of my out board

[quicksilver1]

hi there,i have a mariner 4hp & i am looking to change for a slightly bigger outboard.
the sib i have is a quicksilver which can take up to a maximum of 15hp(according manual.i have heard at the local boat shop that they can upgrade an existing outboard,is this true,is it worth considering.i would really appreciate any advice

Hello there.

Yes they can but only to a point. The 4hp would go to a 5hp. A 6hp an 8hp. The 10hp to 15hp. They could not get your 4hp up to anything that would resemble a significant worthwhile upgrade, so I'd suggest your better advised looking for a larger outboard.

Now If only you could find somebody who has

2002 Tohatsu 8hp (electric start)
2006 9.8hp 2 Stroke (black 25 kgs model)
2005 Honda 5hp 4 stroke
1998 Mercury 15hp 2 stroke
2010 Yamaha 20hp 4 stroke

+ others in stock

I'll be selling my Mercury 6hp 4 stroke in the next few weeks. It only weighs 26kg and although I bought it new in 2009 it's had only about 100 hours use and still looks new. It's been serviced every year and has the balance of it's 5 year warranty.

On our Zodiac SIB it planes easily with 2 adults on board, achieving about 15mph.
It's got a remote fuel tank, reverse gear etc
Not sure of the price yet but will be open to reasonable offers.

The 2006 Tohatsu 9.8 has now sold.
