How much importance is that on this boat and is it a deal breaker? What would it cost to add if it's not so equipped. I have no pics of that area of the boat yet but seller didn't know what power trim even was ! I had heard that the Dauntless 16 can ride stern heavy w/o PT. ???

If it does not have it the motor can be retro fit with it for under $500 for a used kit and $1000 with a new one. 1993 23' Walkaround Whaler Drive

I wish I had a power trim on my 40 hp Yami. Defintely makes things a little easier in shallow water. Cliff 1966 13' Sport with a 1993 40hp Yamaha 2 Smoker

They pop up on e-bay and are expensive, probably the most expensive part on a parts motor. rich
