Runs great, good water flow. Starts up first kick. I dont know a whole lot about the history of the engine as I just purchased the boat, but I bet I can find out from guy that did the refit on the boat. (However, I have already more than 10 hours on it and nothing has changed.)
I am going to convert to electric this winter, so I am looking to sell the entire kit: engine, exhaust, wiring harness, transmission, gas tank, batteries, controls... everything that makes it run, except the shaft and prop.
The boat is located in Tilghman, MD and will be in the water until December so, if you would like to see it run, please give a holler.
I would consider partial trades for new sails or port light window frames in excellent condition, otherwise cash. Not exactly sure how much, however I have seen engines go for anywhere from 1000-1500, so I would think 500 for the entire kit-n-kaboodle would be a very good deal.
To be clear, this is a winter project, as I will be sailing into December.
Try posting on moyermarine.com The A4 site.
i did post the engine on the moyer site. seems people are pretty interested in the electric conversion not the engine... anyway, once i get started on the conversion i will post a thread, in the meantime the A4 is still available.
