Zodiac Futura S inflatable 20hp outboard
Well, I sold the Yam 360s and 15hp Mariner for £1,300 and am now selling what I thought was its permanent replacement until my desire to have an Aerotec 380 got the better of me.....and I'm kicking myself for not going out in it into the Bristol Channel today from Cardiff Bay to watch the start of Leg 10 of the Volvo Ocean Race...lots of spectator boats out about 1.5 miles from shore. We went on foot and watched boats going out thru the locks when it dawned on me...I have bad hearing and don't have a VHF licence but could have got Mrs HB to phone lock control. Anyway, a shameless plug for my "little" Futura S:

Bumping this one up again as ending tonight and looks a clean engine that could go cheap wth a SIB thrown in!

Yes... of course we don't know the reserve (I hate reserves) but you would have thought one of the guys who have asked for such an engine recently would have been all over that.

 Too true - best 2 smoker SIB engine out there and ideal all round bargain first SIB outfit for those enquiring after one lately. See what it does on re-listing?

I was going to guess his reserve at £1000-£1200... like a kind of backstop... seems that's way off his view.

I asked the seller the year of inflatable & outboard and if the engine had any issues. didn’t get a clear answer only that it was used over 2 years ago. So the add pictures are also 2 + years old, so it could be far from a good purchase

Indeed!
With reference to post #1 of this very topic:
Quote:
|
As always buyer beware, never make payment before seeing boat, verifying owner, checking engine etc, blah, blah... )
|
And the comments in the current 'what to buy' topic from the last couple of days:
Quote:
Never buy via auction.
Message the seller as soon as you see the right boat listed at the right location, go and see it ASAP and agree a cash deal if it all checks out and is right for you.

I brought this on ebay a couple of days ago. A tatty 2004 mariner 15hp 2s. Listed at £950, i organised a viewing 1 hr after he had listed it then did a deal at £900 at his place after checking it over.
Point is watch and wait on eBay by using the save search function then move fast when you see something you like.
I have had it out on the water, started first pull, works flawlessly. Got us upto 20mph with 2 adults, child and dog.
Just need to factor in costs of service.

Sorry @jaqueszodiac for not responding sooner. It sold for £1,700 via Gumtree which gave the most enquires. I think it was an '05 the same as the engine.
