Optimal time of year to buy a used outboard engine
Posted: Tue Mar 09, 2021 9:32 am
What time of year is best for selection and value when buying used outboard engines?
To my mind, influential factors would include: (1) winter vs summer and (2) repower season (spring) vs non-repower season (the assumption being that more good take-offs are on the market.
I think December is best for prices. Spring is best for selection. Thoughts?
Might be important to note; I am in Florida. Regional variability is possible.
My reason for asking is to inform my search for a engine for an Outrage 18, which I am refitting at present.
I am not interested in buying a new engine.
