Check the bulletin board at the local grocery store The first place to look for a used boat motor is at your local marina. Many marina sell motors and take used motors as a trade in. They then resell the used motors. At the marina you will most likely get some sort of a warranty and they are also knowledgeable about which motor works best on boats of specific size. It is a safer choice if you can find one to meet your needs.

Remember when buying a used motor that it is buyer beware. Always make sure that the motor is in operating order. Even at someone’s home a motor can be started with a barrel of water. Never buy a motor without having test driven it. This goes for ones that are being sold on sites such as eBay and Craigslist especially.

Check the bulletin board at the local grocery store, the closest tackle shop and even camp grounds. These bulletin boards are often used by local people as a way to advertise their used motors for however sale. You can also put up a card of your own stating what you are looking for but never put your address on the card.
