I bought this outboard new in june 2014. It still is under the manufacturers 3 year warranty and I have the warranty card to go with it. I payed 1800.00 for this new. My loss is your gain at 1000.00. This motor runs and shifts perfectly. Its only got about 20 hours on it. This is a like new outboard. I'd be open to trades, I'm looking for a bow mounted trolling motor with electric foot controls and an auto pilot function. I'd also be interested in a higher end crossbow of same value.
