Yamaha 2-stroke value?

**Mallards Only** · 03-03-2016

Posted this question over on the Main Forum but apparently nobody visits that forum.

I have a 1987 Yamaha 30SH (2-stroke 3 Cyl) in excellent condition with a new stainless prop. Good compression & well-maintained. I was told at one time that these motors were valuable to the racing community for the ability to mod them but I have no idea. Can somebody help me with the value of this motor? Getting ready to sell it. Thanks

What ever a buyer is willing to pay and you agree.

Here is one reference

I pulled it on NADA too but it seemed low based on what I've heard from others.

Like I said

Yeah, I get it.

Thanks for your help but I was hoping to get a starting point for a listing price.

Sarcastic not intended just reality. Have you tried Craig's list in your area? In my area Orlando I see lots of 15hp to 75hp older outboards Yamies, Johnsons, Mercury, (not as old as your 1987) for $500 to $1500. So not knowing what your area will reveal It looks to me you might try $1200 as a start and see what happens?
