Evinrude 15hp Outboard LIKE NEW! $875

Evinrude 15hp 2 stroke short shaft with electric start. This outboard was professionally overhauled by the previous owner and I've only put a dozen or so hours on it since. Includes motor stand, tank, spare parts and flush kit. I've never used the electric start (used it on my inflatable dinghy) but it always starts on the first or second pull. NICE! We're located about 15 minutes from Beaufort, NC.

Re: Evinrude 15hp Outboard LIKE NEW! $875

Hello,

Do you know what was done in the overhaul? Was it a rebuild: new bearings, rings, head gasket, water pump, top end and/or bottom end was it just a full checkup, compression test etc and fix what was broke?

Since my back isn't what it used to be, do you know the total weight?

Also do you know the year of the motor?

Thanks
Skip

Re: Evinrude 15hp Outboard LIKE NEW! $875

Hi Skip,

The fellow I bought it from was a motor maintenance fanatic. There wasn't anything wrong with the motor but he completely stripped it down and rebuilt everything, including replacing the fuel pump even thought it already had a new one installed (I have that now as a spare). He rebuilt it because he was going to use it on a Boston Whaler he also completely restored but turned out 15hp was too small, so he sold it to me. Every seal, gasket, bearing, etc. etc. was either replaced or brought up to new specs and the entire motor was repainted. The only thing he didn't do was buy new decals for it (although he told me I could find them on eBay for about $20). I've had it a couple of years but only put maybe a dozen hours on it, and most of that time was an occasional fresh water flush just to keep everything clean and lubricated.

I don't know the exact weight of the motor but from what Google tells me it should be around 75 lbs. It's definitely not light, but it's more awkward to hand carry than it is anything else. I put dolly wheels on my inflatable so the furthest I have to carry it is 2 or 3 feet, from the back of my truck to the transom of the boat (or the rack). I was actually shopping for a 9.9hp but turns out the 9.9 and 15 weigh the same and this was in such good condition I couldn't say no.

I'm selling my 12' inflatable as well (it's also like new) just haven't gotten around to taking pictures of it yet. If you're looking for a motor + inflatable I can cut you a really nice deal on the pair.
