ANY GOOD? 50/35 short shaft Johnson

[fishbum]

Anyone have one ? Picked up a sweet 50/35 short shaft Johnson
This weekend. Pump just rebuilt (bearings And seals)
Runs great. Was going to sell it but thinking I might make a little stick steer boat !
Wonder what it would do on a little 1648 or 52.
Blazer ? What's it worth? I'm thinking $2600

Year model?

I have the exact same motor on my Tracker 1648MV. Love it!! Buddy and I bought it cheap with a cracked piston and did a complete rebuild on it last summer. I get 26mph+ with just me in the boat and around 24 or so loaded with decoys and 2 others on board. Since the rebuild and getting all the bugs worked out and setup it's ran great for about 25 hours or so. I'd say it's worth $2000+. Here is a 1994 40hp in my neck of the woods that is asking for 2800.

Let me know if you have any specific questions.

its worth whatever someone is willing to pay... id offer around 1500 if it runs perfect, about 500 if it needs rebuilt.

There is a similar motor in my area for sale for $2600.

Here is another.

Josh is right, it's only worth what someone is willing to pay. But if your trying to sell I'd ask for $2500 and see what you can get. I'd be hard pressed to sell mine for any less than $2000. But that's just me.

Thanks, the motor is in real good condition and runs great, Not sure that 40 is a factory jet? if not a 40/30
Ya I know it is whatever someone will pay, these short shaft motors are getting harder to find
Take a look at this little boat a friend wants me to sell, 2011 Weld-Craft custom tunnel, 1544 with trailer boat has been in the water 1 hour! he paid $4700 for boat and trailer, Asking $3400 We don't have Blazer or the other boats in my area.

As I might have told you on the phone the other day, I recently picked up the 55/35 Suzuki jet for $1700, with an included (complete) parts engine. I think realistically the price on yours or mine would be in the 2000-2100 range in our area.

You ever put the boat in the water? Wish that little boat I have for sale was as wide as yours!
I know you would think I'm a little high but they are hard to find down here and that will get you a couple hundred extra. I recently sold a 97 115 Johnson jet for $3600
And a 90/65. 1998 mercury for $3700.
With the jet pumps now mostly above $1800 and the fact that outboard jets
Is 8 weeks out on orders it also brings up the price if someone wants a pump before summer!

That's the motor I was referring to.

Not yet. Soon, though.

I'd certainly ask more than 2000, as they are rare, like you said, but I do think that a final sale price would be in the low 2000 range.

But at the same time, there isn't a large comparison group of outboard jets for sale in our area. I can probably count on one hand the number I've seen listed in the past 8 months.
