Yamaha 4hp outboard value

[Coxsimon]

Hi, I’ve inherited a Yamaha 4hp outboard from around1997. I’ve serviced it (new oils, spark plugs, filters etc) and it starts and runs with no problems and is in very good condition. I’m now looking at selling it but don’t really know the value of it and can’t seem to find much online to help me.
What do you think would be a reasonable price for it?

50 QUID?

I spent that on servicing it!

Lots for sale on ebay - just put them on "watch" and see what they actually go for

200 But from your servicing description it might be a very unusual 4hp as they were 2 stroke single cylinder!

A little confused over the details mentioned…with “filters” being mentioned…but anyway…
If she’s genuine and good condition…a late 90’s 4hp Yamaha 2 stroke, is a thing of value these days. Good ones can go for £450-500, at their best. Average ones…certainly no less than £300-350 these days.

Thanks for the input. I changed the fuel filter as it came with a service pack I bought from Yamaha for that engine.

You’re right, it was only 1 spark plug!

Two stroke?

4 stroke

4 stroke. Didn't realise they had been around that long.
