[Gilli]

Hey im just wondering if anyone around Townsville region, or within say 100km's, knows of anyone who is selling a decent 2002 and up model 50 hp yammy.

Looking at purchasing one, just having a hard time locating one at the moment

Cheers,
Chris

mate i knew townsville marine had one a few weeks ago..maybe a month...drop in and ask them...semed a good buy but i ended up buying a brand spanker tohatsu 50.

How does your tohatsu go?
I got a mate that is a marine mechanic at B&M Outboards and another mate who is a marine mechanic at RSM, both offer me great deals but thinkn of going the yammy just for the quietness more than anything. I found that most tohy's ive been in are pretty noisy but then again i wouldnt know how old they are.

Hey Mate, not sure if u have driven one but i have a 2 stroke premix 05 model and its great. Bit Smokey but its very quiet for a 2 stroke and smooth. Not bad on fuel either at about half throttle.

I was tried selling it a while back but couldn't so i just put electric trim on it.

Good motor all round.

Yeah i might give a mate a call and see what the price difference is, i have heard a fair few good things about tohatsu's, main thing been that they are a very basic motor that has cheaper parts compared to yammies.

Will cal around though, thanks for the help fellas.

Cheers,
Chris

50 whores on a 4 m tinny, Hang on tight ;D

Yeah 50 is only 5hp over the max rated hp for my boat.
it is recommended a 35hp motor but has a 25hp on it at the moment.
With all me camping gear, crab pots, esky(minus the piss lol) and another person it just hates planing. so thought i might aswell get a motor that is guaranteed get us on the plane with little to no struggle.

But 50 whores, now were talking.
