I have to wonder if that was the middle engine on a set of triple engines that were stolen? You don't see many 30" transoms, except on triple engine boats...

That price is crazy-low; $5 or $6K below retail. Wonder if they seller would give up the serial #.

I've called 3 times, left messages, and emailed: No response. What's up with that????

At that price, it probably sold @ 1:06PM on the 15th. Probably melting some guys transom by now.

With the new 4.2L Yamaha 250s coming out, the old F250s aren't going to be worth as much although $8,900 still seems like a pretty good deal.

The current (3.3L) F250 will remain in production concurrently with the new (4.2L) F225, F250 and F300. It will have mechanical controls. I don't forsee the value of the 3.3L F250 dropping because of the release of the new engines. I think it is being priced specifically for the re-power market, where mechanical controls are more common.

There was a brand new F250 stolen a couple of weeks ago off of a new 24' Everglades stored here on Sanibel Island. The guy bought the boat & it was stolen the first night it was here....cables cut clean, motor loaded into a van or truck by someone who knew what they were doing handling a big outboard. Locals suspect an insider at the dealer that sold it may have been involved. This might be the same motor.

On second thought, perhaps this isn't the motor...I assume a 24' Everglades would require a 25" shaft motor, correct? in any case, I would be real certain the motor wasn't stolen before buying a "new" cheap motor like this from someone other than an authorized dealer.

Please stop using the words "like this" because this motor was not "like that" stolen engine. It was in a crate at a dealer.

Er, OK, I'll stop using the words "like this". I can see how you might be offended by that.
The link was deleted by the time I posted, hence I couldn't see the motor in a crate at a dealer. Lots of motors for sale on Craigslist, of questionable background in some cases.

And lots of people of question character pretend to be buyers on craigslist-scam capital of online for sale sites.
