Thread subject: Whaler Central - Boston Whaler Boat Information and Photos :: 1986 Montauk 17 Repower

I'm planning to repower a 1986 Montauk 17. The existing 90hp Yamaha 2-stroke works great and pulls like hell up to a top speed of around 43mph, but I'd like a modern 4-stroke. I have two main questions:

1) Where's the best place to sell the old 90hp Yamaha? Facebook marketplace? Craigslist? The new outboard dealer? An enthusiast forum like Whaler Central or Continuous Wave?

2) What's a reasonable price for a working 90hp Yamaha 2-stroke? The boat is in storage, so I don't have the engine manufacturing date handy, but I'm pretty sure it's mid 1980s or 1990s.

Thanks in advance for your advice.
