An 18 SeaCraft is a lot more boat, its actually 18'10" mine had a 115 and it was fine but 130 would be better.

I saw a Sceptre @ Brendals Dive shop in Green Turtle a year ago that had mint 03 twin 130's. Great weight distribution with 716 lb twins hanging off the back vs. avg new twin set-up being 900 - 950 lbs.

It was offered on a local fishing forum. I already had all the rigging so the price was for the motor plus the oil tank and wiring harness. I'd rather have the zuke 140 but for now this will do.

Last December, I bought a new, in the crate, 2003 Yamaha 130 with a 25" leg. I saw 2 such engines over a 6 to 8 week period starting late last fall, so they are available. Prices on both motors was slightly below NADA's average retail used price. During that time frame, I also saw at least 6 or 8, late model, used 130's, but most of them had 20" shafts. All of my searching was on the internet. I also went to the local Yammie dealer a couple of times, and he assured me that he had checked with Yamaha and there were no late model crate engines left. Also, if you need rigging and gauges as I did, I found that I could buy new if I wanted to and still save at least 1/2 off of Yamaha's list prices by careful shopping on eBay and several internet stores.
