Hello, thanks for Looking.
I have the opportunity to buy a 2003 Yamaha 15 MSHB 15 hp 2 cycle non-electric start tiller motor for $1100. I am wondering if this is a great deal, or at least a good deal.
The motor appears to be in decent shape, but their are some scuffs and scratches. The bottom of the foot has been hit against something hard, and has been flattened a tiny bit, as well as the aluminum prop has a small flat spot on all three blades. It probably all happened at the same time and seems to have had the foot slammed down against concrete or something in shallow water. I don't think it has any effect on running besides the loss in aerodynamics and prop loss.
What is the range in price in this motor, and how could I find that out? What would you paY for it?
For a 2003, I would say. It's in fair shape, but not great. One a scale of 1-10, from appearance alone, I'd say its a 5 or a 6.
I have not ran it, but plan to. If it doesn't run perfect, I don't plan to buy it. If it does run like a top, I am wondering what is the range I should expect to pay with the damage listed. I do have pics. I am not sure how to post them yet.
