Does anybody know a good place to look for second hand outboards?
There does'nt seem to be a shortage of them, i've checked all the completed Ebay listings & there's 10's of engines that've gone, in my budget, however i'm a week too late!
I've tried Ebay / Apolloduck / Boats & outboards / Pistonheads / Practical boating & YBW forums & can't find anything.
Looking for something in the region of 7.5hp to possibly 15hp although a 10 would be ideal, short shaft, with tiller etc.
Is there not an auto trader for boats & outboards?

I have an 8hp Yamaha bought it of 1st owner last year, it is now surplus to requirements, engine cover is scuffed and scratched, [decalls are fine]apart from that is excellent.
Pm if interested.

There was nothing "wrong" with it, it just said the seller was listed in Scotland & i'm in Torquay & although i'm willing to travel, an 90-2hours is about my limit!
