Morning lads,
Well, I'm nearly back into the boating game, just need to find a 40hp outboard. If anyone knows of one, 40hp electric start, ptt, remote control.
It's to go onto the back of a new clark 427 I picked up at the boat show yesterday.
Please let me know. I've got a few options up my sleeve but I'm waiting to see if there is going to be a glut of used outboards on the market due to boat show upgrades.
Cheers,
Brett

Good luck, Ive just been through that. Around 40hp with remote is hard to find, as there are a lot of tiller steers around. It took me 2-3 mths to find a decent one. I got a Yammy 40hp, elec start, forward controls, 4 stroke 2005, but I had to buy it from Darwin on Gumtree and get it shipped down.
If you find one in SE Qld, then spend a few dollars and get it checked by Spaniard King. I had a seller that went out of his way to avoid a mechanic check, he kept being 'unavailable' until he found another buyer. Beware......lots of motors have come off sunken vessels and are full of problems that have been quickly patched over.
Do you want 2st or 4 st? I know of a Honda 50hp four stroke in Hervey Bay, not sure of price, but maybe around 4k. PM me if you want his number.

Thanks Andrew, unfortunately 40hp is the max. I've got a bit of a short list with at least 3 motors worth looking at. I'll see what's available on the weekend.

Getting the hull rerated to 50hp, so 50hp is now in the picture. Andrew, I have sent a pm.

Got a Suzuki 4 stroke, just waiting on the boat to be delivered. Can't wait. I'll do up another thread once the boat is all sorted.
