Hi all, new to the forum.

https://flic.kr/p/2mjamfw

I have had a delightful red 16’ Angler since 2018, and it’s time for a new main. I’m replacing an early 2000s 4 stroke carbureted Yamaha F40 with a fresh F40. The old motor runs great, but has a persistant oil leak from the drive shaft bearing that my mechanic says will cost more to repair than the motor is worth.

I’m sure somebody handier than I could fix this up, or use it for parts.

My, probably dumb, question is; Is this worth messing around putting it up on Craigslist, or somewhere else? If so, have any thoughts about price. Motor has less than 500 hours.

Thanks!

Yes post on Facebook and or Craig's list. Maybe 1/3 The cost of a new one. Be flexible.
