Hi Murchu,
sorry to hear that. best place i know for second hand engines is done deal http://www.donedeal.ie/find/boats/for-s ... source=all. theres one up right now for €1500, and it comes with a boat and trailer http://www.donedeal.ie/boats-for-sale/s ... le/5372263 . hope you find what you are looking for and are back on the water as soon as possible.

Sorry to hear that.. nothing worse. Hopefully you get sorted soon. Done DEal seems to be the best site there is at the moment. Like buying a car though, you need to know what you are looking at. There is an unbelievable amount of shite on there at silly prices, but if you are patient it can be a good place to buy. If you know anyone going to the UK in a car, you might want to look at Bill Higham Marine http://www.billhigham.co.uk/used_outboards.html They offer a Warranty on all used outboards.
