I have an 04 Yamaha HPDI 250, don't know exact extent of damage on the head, but I'm pretty sure the #1 piston is ate up. I have no desire to rebuild, I'd rather upgrade to a 250 mercury. The motor has had a lot of stuff done to it that should be new, including a lower unit that prolly has less than 20 hours on it. I really need to get rid of this motor, the block is off right now but it just needs to be bolted back on. I don't know who would want to buy it but for a scrap price I need to get rid of it to fund a new motor purchase. I'm in college right now and I'm fishing the Arkie BFL and I'm sitting in the top 15 in points so I really need a resolution quick! If any one knows someone looking for a parts motor, or a dealer that would buy it or give me a good trade in on a new merc 250 let me know! Thanks in advance.

Hard to sell a blown motor. Doubt you will get much for it. You can rebuild your current motor for about a 1/3 of the cost of a new motor and controls. I'm not sure A new mercury would be an upgrade. I have plenty of friends that have blown them also.
I hate photobucket.

I'd just rather buy a merc. I ran my dads in highschool tournaments for 3 years plus other tournaments and I love it. Never had an issue. And I'm not hard on them by any means, just got a motor that wasn't taken care of before I got it and it just didn't last. And I'm fine with whatever I can get out of it. The lower end is brand new so I know that's worth something.

Call Ronnie Fretwell, believe he's got an 08 250 Pro XS and maybe another one too and he'll take that Yamaha 250 in on trade for it, can't promise what he'll give but I bet he'll give something. Xtreme Marine at 817-366-3403 he's a good dude

Sorry for not replying sooner, been out of town, but I'd like $3000.
