BUY, SELL AND TRADE TRAWLERS AND TRAWLERING GEAR
View all threadsI recently bought a new (to me) tender. It is a 2001 Novurania 335DL
and came with a 2001 40hp Mercury 2-stroke, model 40ELPTO.
Aside from the fact that I think 40 is too much horsepower for this
boat, the weight in the back makes the tender sit very bow-high in the
water at rest, and the combined weight of the setup is approaching the
limit of my 800-lb davit.
I'd like to trade this straight across for a 25hp engine that will fit
the same application. A Mercury, wherein I do not need to change out
the controls, would be preferable, but I'll go with any make so long as
it is lever-control, electric start, and accepts cable steering.
I'm in Deltaville, VA, having work done on my trawler. I'm willing to
rent a pickup truck and drive anywhere in a one-day round-trip radius
(200 miles or so) to make a swap.
The 40 is in good running condition and was just professionally serviced
a month ago. I don't know how many hours it has, but from the looks of
everything else I am going to say it's less than 200. I know the last
owner had the whole setup (boat, motor, and trailer) stored indoors in a
warehouse for several years, with the engine pickled.
Normal signs of wear are apparent both cosmetically and on the prop.
There is a Stingray hydrofoil installed on the cavitation plate; the
Stingray has a small chip on one side. This model is equipped with
electric trim/lift and automatic oil injection.
Email me if interested.
