I have a Nissan/Tohatsu extra long shaft 4 stroke outboard. It has electric start and manual pull start. I think it is a 2005, used only a few times. I upgraded to a new Nissan last year with remote controls and don't need this one anymore.

I do not want to ship this motor but will be willing to drive and meet part way (within reasonable distance). Motor is near Havre de Grace Maryland. $1500. email: ken@saubier.com and make sure email subject is "Nissan outboard" so the spam filter doesn't block it.

I bought a new boat(with motor included) and sold my old boat... so this one isn't needed anymore. Let me share some info with you... maybe this will help you.

I had an older boat with a worn out Johnson on it that I had to fight with every time I wanted to just motor out of the marina to go sail. I mean... the pull cord was a back breaker and even when it was running it would sometimes quit, and always at a really inconvenient time (while docking). I found myself avoiding using my boat because I was sick of fighting with that motor... and that was the last straw. And I didn't mind mixing gas that much, until I didn't have to do it anymore and realized what a giant pain it is to have a ratio measuring funnel and a bunch partial bottles of oil collected on my boat. Did you ever drive down to your boat with a gas can and realize you didn't have another full bottle of oil on the boat to mix... only a few partial bottles that didn't add up?

These Nissan/Tohatsu lightweight 4 strokes are great, and even though it has electric start the pull cord on these is easy too. If you ever let your battery run down you can still pull start it easily. And I wanted to have both pull and electric without having to remove the engine cover and wrap a cord around the flywheel(like Honda and others).

If you have an older boat and are tired of fighting with it's old stinky, noisy 2 stroke all summer... imagine the difference it makes to push a button and barely be able to hear the quiet purr of an outboard that keeps your batteries fresh while smoothly pushing you along. You want this motor.
