Been thinking about a used boat and given any specific model, I'm seeing a range of condition of older boats (~2000 era) that have sat for awhile but might run all the way up to the same boat that's immaculate and used weekly as a fishing boat. Along with that range comes quite a price difference of course. I'm slightly aware of the money that might have to be sunk into an older boat and not to be necessarily enticed by the sale price alone. That being said, the condition of the boat and the motor are the two most important pieces of info, with the accessories coming in 3rd, I'd say.
So, if the older boat was priced such that repowering was worth it, I'd like to know what it might cost to buy a new 90hp outboard, 2- or 4-stroke. This really isn't a discussion of which type to choose. I can read up on that endlessly elsewhere. I spoke with someone who advised "If you are going to re-power, don't buy used. Buy new". You might also give advice as to what time of year there might be deals on motors - as new models come out or whatever.
In your recent experience, what prices have you come across for various 90-hp outboards?
