8hp Yamaha Enduro

I'm in Charleston. Looking for an 8hp 2 stroke for my little boat. Thanks.

Well, you've made an excellent choice.

The Yammi 8 2-stroke is a jewel of an engine. Being a 2 stroke you won't find a new one in the US anymore, but plenty available online.

I had a line on a 2008 for a reasonable price, but I waited too long. It was 6 hours away and I didn't have a free weekend. Gone now.

That 8 hp Yammi 2 stroke is the sweetest engine ever made. Lightweight, can be picked up with one hand, starts on the first pull, plenty of power, etc, etc.

I went online and googled 8 hp Yammi's 2 stroke and found a number of them online.

Yeah, I liked the ones with the round midsection like the endure. I'm not sure if the rest of the motor is any different.

How much?

I'm leaning towards getting a new Hangkai (Chinese) 12hp. Looks to be similar to the 8hp Yamaha 2 stroke. 2 cylinder 169cc vs 165cc. I feel like it's silly to pay $500 for a 30 year old motor and have to put 20 hours into servicing it to get it to run well and then it's still a 30 year old motor. I'm sure this Hangkai is junk, but is it worse that what I'm seeing for the same price on FB marketplace?

Not sure of price, would depend on how it runs. The logistics could be more of an issue.
