Re: sunk Yamaha HPDI 200
From the context of your post I didn't see any information indicating who the seller is.<br /><br />I would expect a motor of that size and cost were/should have been insured. Therefore if you are dealing with an insurance company or their broker you can conclude if the motor wasn't good enough for them to pay for a rebuild, they know indeed the value of the motor is nill. Perhaps anything they recover goes toward the employee of the month bonus.<br /><br />I would recommend you shoot from the hip and tell them you are buying it for parts and at the most only the salvagable parts. If you are mechanically capable it may be possible to keep your fingers crossed to find someone with a blown powerhead as a better electronic platform. However, I don't see this being a quick turnaround profit making opportunity for you. Since it is a relatively new motor and most are still covered under warranty, I don't think you will find any blown powerheads in the near future.
