opinions...2001 evinrude 150

[Bigshrimpin]

NADA values are way way off. Their values are based on straight depreciation of the original value (and factor nothing else).

Look up a 1975 23 seacraft for example . . . $1,680 average retail price. Is that even close to the average retail for these boats???

That being said . . . I did sell my 1999 150 ficht . . . for $2500 (controls, rigging, 2 props, engine stand). It had a little over 150hrs. 2001 motor is much much better.

I guess i just didn't mind paying a little extra for the "dealer" part of it. I know that the dealer i bought it from is a very reputable dealer and have a great reputation. I also know that if you have one that runs, its a great engine.
As i said before, we have 2 2000 150's in the family, and they haven't given us a single problem.
I also have been looking for quite some time now, and i haven't seen that many fichts for sale in my area, or any other newer outboards...especially within 30mins driving distance, which this one is.

NADA values are deffinately way off on very old boats and outboards that have been rebuilt, or other work put into them, but i'd think that the newer outboards and boats are pretty easy to give a value to b/c most haven't had more money poured into them...get what i'm sayin?

Is it true about the fuel burn compared to the etecs? I'd figure that the etec had better burn numbers.

As long you feel you got a good deal its a good deal.
By the way its your money and sometimes looking for a better deal may cost you more money.. Old saying YOU SNOOSE YOU LOSE ..Shipping for some reason turn into a way to make extra money.
