Yamaha F115's

benc · 20 March 2006, 22:26

Anyone know what the resale price of the yamaha 4 stroke F115's is?

They have 500 hours, and nearly 4 years old.

Thanks

Ben

You buying a single setup Ben?

I might loosly be interested in one of them.

benc · 20 March 2006, 22:38

I'm looking at getting possibly two 135's - not sure what yet though, just looking around at the moment, need to see the price difference between what I can sell mine for and what I can get two new ones for

It might mean gettin a jetski has to wait another year!

Guys give me a rough idea in PM what you'd be willing to pay, I am still trying to find out what the market value for them is. As soon as I find out, i'll get back to you also.

£3,500 I would reckon.

Together, or each? To me that sounds a shade too low for the pair, but a fair bit too much for a single!

Are they a matched counter-rotating pair?
If so, one of them won't be as appealing as the other if you split them

Ben.

Put em on Boats and Outboards at a high price 75% of the replacement costs and see if you get any bites, if you do you can make your mind up then.

They are the best part of 8k new, 500 hours isn't all that many hours.

They had 250 on when I got them, 250 hours in my first year - not too bad, considering its my first proper boat :P

True. I guess I was working on the basis that they are now out of warranty, and unless they go as a pair, there will be one counter rotating one, and only one double control box. 500 hours is probably about right for the age of the engines.

Having single engine being counter rotating shouldn't be an issue.

True about no warranty

True about only double control... but that can be easily rectified.

Due to the "above deck cabling" on my boat, I think it should be a relatively easy job to remove the guages to, so can supply those with the engines.

The engines are reliable and have only let me down due to a c*ck up during a service I had done. I am told they are economic when being run as a single engine.

Yup - a brand new control box is about £400, which isn't actually all that unreasonable, and they can be bought secondhand.

The yam 115's get very good writeups etc, and are supposed to be economical - think your economy is down to have 2, and the way you drive them

Anyways, we shall see!

Bring your camera tonight....

S'alright, just found the battery charger for mine, so we're cool...

Any enquiries about the engines yet?

Just seen your ad Benc, I wouldn't think you will have much trouble shifting them, they are Yamaha's after all.
You could partex them for these: http://www.boatsandoutboards.co.uk/view/F88839

Now that would make a nice boat!!
