Question about this pair of outboards?

[flounderpounder225]

Hi guys, looking at a pair of  2000 Yamahas 150s  on THT parts forum being sold by Derekd
He is asking about 8100.00 for everything.
Need your opinions on buying this pair of outboards and installing on my 1995 Osprey 25
I would appreciate your opinions good or bad

Thanks in advance

Carb'd or OX-66's?? Either way, those would be sweet on the Osprey, wish I had twin 150's.  Those Yamaha V-76 engines were the best.

Sorry OX66, I corrected the post

Seems kind of pricey considering the fuel bills your going to have. At $4 a gallon fuel prices you couldn't give me those motors if you run your boat any amount of time. You might get 1.5mpg cruise, probably more like 1 mpg.  They are pretty reliable motors... compared to the hpdi's. But they're thirsty.  You'd be way ahead to pick up some used four strokes or just go with a single 250-300hp.

Well, he says OBO.
I was thinking maybe 7000 7500
something like that.

Fuel out here in Newport is 5.00 or better as of last week.
Yes, I do keep looking for a newer pair,
they get snatched up really quick it seems?
I always see the ad about 4 or 5 days after it is posted.
My motor just was checked out and the boat goes back in the water in a few days
It is running great, I might just keep it for the summer
Again, like I said, just looking for opinions good or bad

Thanks very much
