I have been lookig for a motor for my 1436 boat and finally after a long time this ad came on craigslist and what a steal for this yamaha 15hp 2stroke with less then 20hrs runtime,this is by far the cleanest motor i have seen since i have been boating unless it came straight from the box.It is a 1995 and i paid $800 for it as it sat in storage for over 10yrs the gearlube was like new when i changed it i could not belive my eyes,original plugs,and lower unit oil,unreal how clean it is,only 4full tanks of gas ran through it ethanol free [sweet].
