Thread: New Outboard

Well I spent my money!
Bought a 115 hp Evinrude G2 today, hot price of $14,995 inc Gst. 20” leg. Get it fitted next week. 5 yr warranty and 300 hrs before first service. Last one available!!
Anybody looking for a 130hp Johnson 1996 big looper, done 300 hours and had head gaskets and thermostats done? If so I’ll list it under buy, sell.

You do know BRP have dropped the E-Tech manufacture - should not worry you with parts warranty I imagine
But came as a shock to me

Yep guaranteed spares 10 yrs, I’ll be 80 who cares!!

Honda couldnt match huh

Not those prices GA, best I could find in Honda was a 150 with 2000 hrs on it foe 13k, this is new and I've only ever owned Johnson or Evirude motors in the past 5 boats I've owned, was looking at 23/24 k for new 4 strokes

You got a great buy.
Honde would be twice that - that price on the 115 is less that the 90 was from memory
I had the 200 HO - got 10 years trouble free out of it - corrosion got it in the end as it was never flushed and in salt water 365 days on mooring
Did you see what a 150 E-Tech was priced at ??

I had Evin RUDE and the thing shat itself under 100 hrs. Managed to find a second hand part to get it going. That was immediately before the Bombardier took over. Had a good run out of a Mariner (Merc I think). Now have 70 two stroke Yamaha and from new in 2006 it’s done 250 faultless hours. The 8 hp 2 stroke Yammie auxilliary runs 100:1 and will go all day as a trolling motor without issues.
That said, I was impressed with GA’s Honda, even though it’s a 4 stroke.

The 140 was about 17k but all gone in 20"

It’s on the boat!!

The deals on Evinrude are real good, just bought a 6hp 4 stroke auxiliary from Trev Terry, its a re badged Tohatsu

$13k+ gst + fitting and $600 for a prop if I can’t use my 4 blade

A beautiful thing. Had an older 115 in Cairns, no worries at all.

That looks real "sharp" on the back there @Maca49
Hope you get a good run from it

Any good ideas for covering the spare holes in the dash? Was thinking I’d glue some laminate over the lot? I don’t know how bad it is yet

Get a thin piece of Stainless cut to to a visual appealing shapte and then get a signwriter to cover it with a fake carbon fibre pattern, at least thats what I have done in the past
