We've missed you at the Tuesday meetings, Taylormade, and we've even had your sacred robes dry cleaned after that regrettable bilgewater baptism mishap. By the way, that engine's now down to asking only $1,500, as I'd thought. Since craigslist ads expire, if you're even semi-interested in that Honda 50, I might suggest that before you head off on vacation you drop the fellow an email, call or better yet text (phone number's in the <Reply> button on the ad), so you have his contact info handy in case the ad vanishes into the æther. Just tell him or her you're going on vacation, but will want to look it over upon your return, if it's still available. If it is and you do, and it's all jake, lowball at maybe $1,000, settling at maybe $1,200 or so. By then the seller will have been well marinated in expectation with a hint of desperation if you're the sole soul who's actually traveled to the world famous metropolis of Bradenton (population 54,437) for a looksee with actual cash in hand. What you might save should handily cover a fresh impeller, fuel line, filter or maybe even go some way towards its professional installation.taylormade wrote: Hahaha. I actually went to elementary and middle school there so I know exactly where he is.
As for the "missing key" described in the ad, I am led to understand that all pre-2008 Honda BF40s and 50s with the control box ignition share the very same key type (Honda Part No. 35110-ZV5-003), so if you already have one, you've got one:
Otherwise, you can get this one from Boats.net for just $4.52.
