Bought an F100 today, so I listed the V6 Yamaha 175 for sale. Looks like they go for a bit under $2000 locally.

The F100 looks to be all powerhead. It needs carb work, but the deal was ok. I guess I will never got my 20' MA to 50 knots...

Just another piece of advice . . . I'd recommend you see how that 100 works on your boat (and make sure it's just the carbs that need to be rebuilt) before you sell the 175. The 100 is NOT a powerful motor. Also check the shift shaft on the old yamaha 175 . . . they tend to rot out after 20+ years. I have a couple of barge/party boat props 11p and 13p that I think will fit that motor. You are welcome to try them out.
