I have a 96 Johnson 130 hp 25" shaft for sale. It has 126 hours on the powerhead and VRO pump that were replaced in 09. At that time the carbs were rebuilt and power pack and two coils were replaced. She ran great after that. In 2012 I replaced the trim motor,re sealed the trim pump, and re sealed the lower unit. Motors been sitting in my garage since 2012. Comes with controls. $1500
 
Hard to sell an engine with no boat to run it on. I'm taking the Grady to the dump so the engines up for sale.
 
I just dug her out of the back of the garage. I'm going to hook up the controls on the stand and fire it up soon.

Finally cleared out the garage and fired it up for a little, but since it was sitting for a while the carbs were leaking. I did a compression check, left bank was:149,150 right bank was:140,150. I took one of the carbs apart and cleaned it and it stopped leaking. I'll be going through the other 3 shortly.
 
Crazy you still have this engine, is it advertised on CL?

Like others have said, if you were closer I'd buy it to put on a project.

It's only on a few sites, not cl yet. Ive been busy with other stuff and it's been buried in the back of my garage, but now I've dragged it out to the door. I figured if I listed it on the smaller sites I wouldn't be emptying out the garage for some tire kicker. Now that I've moved it I'll put it up there and hopefully get it sold.
 
Know what you mean about the tire kickers. I like to wheel and deal, and I always build some negotiation room into the price, but some people will nit pick the hell out of something, then try to beat you up on the price, offering half. Tell them to go buy a new one.
 
I sold an 89 110 20" with controls for $800, and that's what I was asking. I had a guy drive 2 1/2hrs to offer me $400. Another came and thought it would be newer? I wound up selling it to a guy that knew what it was and didn't even haggle with me.
 
I wish I would've dug it out of the back of my garage a month sooner than I did. Getting colder up here and no one needs an engine. I may part it out and keep a few of the new things that will work on my 200. The tilt/trim motor has like 10 mins use time on it alone, and it's a factory piece.

Swap the tilt /trim units, keep the new one for yourself, keep the rest of the engine whole and in a few months you'll be able to get top dollar for it as the weather turns warm again. Nothing like springtime to make a person think of fishing and suddenly realize he needs an engine.
