Just about have the Yamaha T-8 motor ready to sell. 2007 model.

It is 8 hp with electric start & manual start, 4 stroke long shaft I think.

Manual tilt. I thought it was power tilt and if it was
I would have kept it. Getting to old to tilt the motors myself any more.

About 100 hours on it and the previous owner did a little damage to
it so I bought and either replaced or repaired the damage. It was
not much and will be a great motor. It will look good too! Just
gotta get my son to repaint the hood as it got scratched up when it
fell over in the gravel driveway..

I'll get a price from a Yamaha dealer and see what it is worth and sell
below that price for sure. It is not a stolen motor as I have the title
for it.

Here's what the numbers are on
the CERTIFICATE of ORIGIN from Yamaha. I'm not sure what length is on it.

MFG DATE: 04/2007

Series or model: T8EXH

H.P.(S.A.E.) 8.0

NO.CYLS. 2

More at a later date with price.

Waiting for some paint and 2 little parts. (1 Cable clip and the little plastic hose connection that you do for the wash inside motor that got cracked)

It is not power tilt and if it was it would not be for sale soon.

Hope to have a price and a picture soon.

I did a little more checking on the motor today (Monday).

Called U.S. Marine out of Olympia and asked some questions and talked with Paul their main mechanic.

Motor T8EXH 2007

High value $1700.00

Called my son and I'm taking to cowling to him this week and he will paint it.

FOR SALE SOON.

Little update on the Yamaha.

Fired up the motor today and all went well. It sounds good off of the ear muff type water connection. Can't get it on the back of my boat for a real water test. Electric start and pull start worked good.

I'm waiting for 1 little 3/16th" bolt for the tilt and the plastic hose nozzle for the interior wash down. Hope to get the cowling painted this week too. Not sure if it's gonna be a perfect match on the paint color but it's what Yamaha says to use..

A few scratches but the motor has very few hours on it. Interior looks brand new.

I'm gonna try to get $1400.00 for it. It should be ready to go next week when the parts arrive. It is ready now without the parts or paint but just gonna try to make it look a little better. About a 5 minute fix plus the painting. And of course if it doesn't sell I'll try a lower price but I hope it sells for what I am asking. Never know, ya know!

The Yamaha shop in Aberdeen has the same motor new and wants $2700.00 plus sales tax for it. They also have the 2 parts I need on order and said they will be in Tuesday???? Parts cost less then the freight.

High book is $1700.00 and average is $1500.00 is what U.S. Marine in Olympia told me the other day on the phone..

You can probably find the motor on Google. T8EXH 2007 model with High thrust prop. U.S.Marine said it is a very sought after motor. I would keep if it was power tilt. Still has warranty until Dec. 2010.

Is it a long shaft or a super long? What does is weight appx? I want this motor bad and I've been shopping around, but this seems like a winner. It may be a month earlier than I'm ready to buy it, but I could use just a little more info.

You are 1 day late. It went by by this morning and I
didn't even have it completely done yet.

T8EXH I'm guessing it was a Xlong with the numbers.
EX= extra long??
H= High thrust??

You also missed a great deal and after I got it done I
wish I would have asked more for it.

I will mail the 2 parts to the guy that bought it. He
didn't even ask me to fire it up for him as it looked so good.
