• Trawler Forum Classified Posting Guidelines
    • We expect ads placed to be related to the topic of this forum.
    • Ads that are inactive for 180 days or longer may be moved to the Classified Archive and locked. Ads may be relisted if the item is still current. Alternatively, owners may contact a Moderator to reinstate an archived ad.
    • The Classified section is for advertising, members are asked to refrain from posting discussions to a Classified Ad. Please start a discussion thread or PM the owner for discussions.
    • Do not hijack another member's ad by posting unsolicited commentary. Example: if a member has posted an ad offering an anchor for sale, don't add a post to his thread stating that you have an anchor you'd like to get rid of also. Posts deemed as unsolicited commentary may be removed.
    • For your own security, do NOT include your e-mail or phone number in your ad. Instead request that interested parties contact you via PM (private message) to provide owners contact info.
    • Brokers, Dealers, or those with a commercial interest in a sale are prohibited from posting in Classifieds.
    • Only Trawler Forum Commercial Members may post ads in the Commercial section. You must be a designated Commercial Member to start threads in this section of the forum. (Contact a moderator if you have questions about this)
    • Don't post links to commercial sites where you are also offering the boat, such as eBay, Craigslist or Yachtworld, etc. unless it contains a more in-depth description, additional information or pictures.
    • Place only one ad per item (you may repost only when your ad has expired and been removed).
    For Sale ads MUST include:
    • Asking price
    • Location
    • A Basic Description
    • Clear statement whether you are the owner or non-owner (posting for friend, relative, or acquaintance)
    • Don't forget to select: FOR SALE, WANTED or FREE in the Title block.
    All ads should also include ALL the following:
    • Pertinent maintenance and condition information
    • Exterior picture or pictures
    • Interior picture or pictures (boats)
    For maximum impact & exposure, it is suggested the Ad Title include: Year, Manufacturer, Model, Length, Price, and Location or at the very top of the ad body. When your item has sold or the ad is no longer relevant: Please post a Reply to the ad that the item is SOLD or click "Report Post" on post 1 of the thread to ask a moderator to archive the ad. Ads may be moved or removed by our staff at any time for any reason. All ads must comply with site rules. Thanks for your cooperation.
  • Avoid Scams.

    Our classifieds are free and anyone registered here is welcome to post an ad.
    Be aware that there are unscrupulous folks out there. Avoid any interaction that seems odd to you or �feels� wrong. Inquiries from unknown buyers, buyers �agents� and other non-traditional approaches should be treated with extreme caution.

    Beware of unsolicited contacts offering to put you in touch with someone else who is buying or selling via e-mail or text.

    Do not post your e-mail address or phone number in a classifieds ad.

    Hints that you may be dealing with a Scammer:
    • Seller or Buyer approaches you via a direct email or PM and then steers you to an off-site communication method (text or email).
    • No posts or very few forum posts.
    • Recent forum membership
    • Insists on conducting negotiations via email or text rather than PM
    • Requires payment via Bank Transfer, BitCoin/CryptoCurrency, WesternUnion or other unsecured method.
    • Buyer or Seller suggests Paypal "Friends and Family" payment. Paypal is a good way to arrange payment but an invoice for goods and services should be used rather than "Friends and Family". "Friends and Family" avoids fees BUT there is no recourse if the transaction runs aground. Friends and Family is for gifts only. There is no protection for Friends and Family transactions, so never ever use it to buy something.
    • Declines to allow viewing the item before proceeding with the transaction.

For those who have been reading the current thread on dinghy motors and want a trouble free two stroke, I have a 2000 Tohatsu 9.9 hp for sale for $750.

This engine is one of the lightest 9.9s ever made. Strong, high torque two cycle. Runs fine on ethanol gas as long as you run the carb dry after each use.

It has three props so you can pick the one you need for your application: a 6.5, 7.5 and 8.5 (presume these are inches of pitch). Also have a Doel Fin that improves planning with heavy loads. I can plane three people on a 9' RIB with the medium prop and the fin.

PM me if interested. Located in Oriental, NC but can ship anywhere.

I'll vouch for those motors. I've got the 8hp version which is nearly identical, yr 2003. It is by far the best running little two stroke I've had. And I've had a bunch. If I didn't have my 8 I'd jump on Dave's 9.9.

Someone needs to grab this one.

They don't make them any more.
 
Yes, it is a short shaft which works fine for everything except on some sailboats.

Thanks for the plug, Ski. I didn't solicit that, guys, really!!

But he is right, if you want a two stroke, this is one of the last made and a good one. It weighs about 75 lbs. Most 4 strokes are 90+ lbs.

The local Tohatsu/Nissan dealer refers to these little gems as 'gold'. He says they are rarely in for service problems and the weight to power ratio is pretty amazing.


I have 2 of the 9.8hp 2-stroke units both vintage 2003. I am still using the first bought new with no problems to date, not even an impeller change. The 2nd is waiting in reserve, but it may outlast me.


My typical use is 2 months during the summer in salt water. At the end of the cruising season, just run it in fresh water to rinse it out and run it out of fuel. Stores on its side and fires right up the next year.


It makes my AB 8.5 RIB nearly fly.


Mine weigh in at just under 60lbs., so easy to cart about.
