mannyman Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 Hey Raiders. I am looking at repowering my 09 quinny from 30hp Merc to 40hp just to give it a bit of extra go. Can anyone reccomend a place in brissy for a second hand motor that won't gouge me to hard? I've seen plenty online that are 15 years old and only 2-3k under a brand newy.

frankS Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 That's right, when you want to buy a second hand motor the dealer will tell you they hold their price very well, when you want to sell a motor the dealer will tell you there isn't much call for 2nd hand motors and they loose their value very quickly.

frankS Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 I have recently been quoted $7,800 for brand new ETec 40hp fitted and $8,200 for Mercury 4 stroke 40hp fitted so that will give you an idea of how much the 2nd hand ones are cheaper than new. I guess Yammy and Suzuki would be roughly the same, Honda are dearer. Frank 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
