Time to let go some of my stuff. This 4hp is not some beat up unit that has been neglected. As the pictures show it has been well cared for. Runs like a top...thru it in my test tank in October and gave it a yank and she cranked right up. Shifts smoothly forward and reverse, pees water as it should....ready to go on your 12 or 14 and troll all day long doing what it was designed to do. It sips gas and will run all week long on a 6 gallon tank (not included but available) and is pretty light so you don't get a hernia moving it around. I have a couple 15 hp units too if you want more get up and go, but for fuel efficiency this one is unbeatable. Not sure what year it is but the ignition is solid state. I have video of the unit running in my test tank....if I can figure out how to send it, I will. If you snooze you loose...nice units are rare these daz....if this ad is up, it is available...don't even ask. You can spend more on a newer or brand new unit but then wasting money isn't fun these daz eh....586- seven seven zero 6776...sanford area.
