Based on research here, I'm looking for an 86+ 40-55hp OMC that I plan to put a jet pump on. My local market (Vancouver, BC) is a bit limited in terms of selection.

I've searched the Top Secret thread but most of those are parts salvagers.

Craigslist isn't very efficient for this type of search because I need to know that the motor checks out if I'm going to drive ten hours to grab a motor. And I will likely need it shipped to the border.

Currently searching ebay.

Does anyone know of suppliers that specialize in complete used outboards, that are reputable? Any help is appreciated.

If you're in Vancouver BC, I would try Sea-Way, up in Seattle, or just post a want ad.

Where do I post a want ad? I don't see any classifieds.

Craigslist, your local paper, AOMCI. There's lots of resources out there.

I thought you were referencing posting an ad on iboats. I'm doing the local thing but there is very little inventory. Was hoping there would be a large online seller of used outboards.
