Sounds good, Don.
You can private message me on here or text or call my cell 516-509-2046, leave a message if I don't pick up.  Get in touch soon if you're able, as I'll be going out of town for awhile for work at the end of the month.

I'm back at home now, and the Honda motor is still available.

the reason it hasn't sold is you have it priced a little high for a 2002. I know I got a great deal on the 2000 9.9 Merc four-stroke long shaft electric start with remote controls included which I paid 1000.00 for. It is a big foot model and it trolls great for us.

 

but I bought another 2002 four-stroke electric start tiller motor for 1600.00 but this motor is in the best condition of any 2002 motor I have ever seen. it looks much newer than a 2002 it looks almost new and starts and runs like new.

 

the story of why this motor had very little use and still looks so good is this guy bought it so he and his dad could do some fishing together. but they never got to use it much before his dad died. he hung onto the boat and motor for a few years but he wasn't using it so he sold the boat and kept the motor thinking he might buy another boat. but after storing it in his garage for a few more years he made the decision to sell it. and all it took was one look at the motor for me to buy it. we had no way to test-run the motor so I actually bought a pig in a poke.

 

I got home and the 1st thing I did was hook it up and see if it would run. I don't know how long it had been since it had been started but it fired right up and ran so smooth you didn't know it was running.

 

we ended up using the 2000 with the remote controls and stored this motor in my pole barn for the last couple of years. i plan on trying to sell it at some point but haven't been motivated to sell it yet.

I understand what you're saying.  But honestly, this one is also in VERY good condition for it's age.  I'd give it a 9 out of 10 on cosmetic condition and it runs perfect.  I think the bigger reason it hasn't sold is because it's a short shaft motor.  Though it would be perfect for someone with a motor mount on the back of their transom.  I'm a little flexible on the price.  I haven't listed it anywhere but on LOU so far, but now that it's spring I'm going to list it elsewhere too this week.

[sherman brown]

I think the biggest reason it hasn't already sold is no one has seen it yet that needs a kicker. sometimes it just takes time for the right person to view your listing.

 

I understand what you're saying about it being way above average. but until someone comes along who's looking for a kicker and makes contact it's just a waiting game.

Still available, perfect kicker for someone with a motor mount on their transom.  
Price slightly negotiable.

[cinnamon fish]

I have a motor mount I'm willing to include if it helps someone make this short shaft motor work better as a trolling motor.
