I just got the approval from my wife to start pricing a motor for my boat I am looking for a 200 hp motor that I can finance that is not going to break the bank every month. I am thinkin a couple years old fits the bill. Currently I have an 1984 evinrude 150 so at this point I have no idea what brand I want or don't want. It will be going on a 1991 ranger fish and ski rated for a 200
Hope for the best,but prepare for the worst

Any marine dealer should be able to sell you a motor.

Power the boat at its rated hp. If you don't, you'll be wishing you would have. If buying a used motor, have it checked by a reputable mechanic or shop. It's worth paying for.

Sorry, just reread your post. Check out the Bass Boat Central motor forum. Look into the Sponsor boards on here. Many reputable dealers are Sponsors of the Texas Fishing Forum.

If I were looking for a used motor, I'd check with my local mechanic. He has a few that he gets in and goes over them or rebuilds and gives a warranty.
