2005 175HP VINDICATOR

[FreeBeeTony]

trying to get history on these. probably pretty cheap.

Looks like they have ~1500HRS on them.
Going to get the latest report on them.
Any opinions on what a fair price might be for the pair w/ gauges and controls?

 

[FreeBeeTony]

Can probably get the pair for less than $5K delivered with all rigging and props.
Any thoughts?

Bump.....
Seriously considering this purchase if I can work a great deal and the reports come back clean.

You could clean your carbs...... Say $150 and an afternoon.

I hear you......thanks for that and following me!
I have been wanting to upgrade and at the moment this seems like the best deal. I have looked into ox66's and the $$$$$ are crazy for 20 year old engines.
I know this idea sounds crazy but I may need to try it.
Looking at the gauges from these engines, they look the same except for a "digital" gauge with some check engine lights. I think I can reuse my oil tanks.
I think the price may be right to give it a try...

Just did more research, looks like I will need different oil tanks w/ areturn line.

UPDATE: see attached engine report. Other engine is similar. Having scanner issues.
Any opinions?

Sell the Johnrudes, add the $5k and buy 2 Yammys or Optis
