Hi All,

I am a new C-Dory 22ft cruiser owner. I live on the Oregon Coast and some older man was moving to Arizona, He had the boat way under valued (like $15K - I guess he didn't know what it was worth) so I couldn't pass it up. I love to salmon, halibut and tuna fish, but felt uncomfortable taking 12 year old Honda 40hp Twins our 40-50 miles for Tuna. My son-in-law is a boat mechanic and convinced me to put a single 90ph Yamaha (2019) and a kicker. Got the 6 year warranty for free buying it this time of year. I was going to go with Suzuki but the nearest place for warranty service is 90 miles. My Son-in-law is a certified Yamaha guy so he can do the warranty work and we can get parts in 2-4 hours if needed.

Anyway, I have these 2 Honda 40ph motors I'm taking off. Both run well and I put 120 hours on them since I purchased the boat. I am not sure how to value them for resell. Does anyone know what their approx. worth is? Secondly, where would you best the best place to market them?

Thank you in advance for your thoughts and ideas.

BTW: I have fallen in love with this boat... It's just so much fun.

I would offer them here, and on Craigslist.

Check what similar o/bs are selling for on Craiglst. If these are non EFI engines then they will probably sell for 1/4 new price maybe 1/3 if EFI.

How many total hours on the two Hondas? There are members (and many others) who have gotten 1500 to over 2000 hours? There should be a fairly good market for these if low hours.

I would start by this site--since you will have all of the rigging--it makes more sense than selling them singly.
