Is there anywhere that takes trade in outboard motors. Thinking of trading a 200 optimax for a 150 four stroke .

Location: Eastern Ontario		You would probably get more and a better deal on your new motor if you could sell privately. Try to sell while still on your boat and can demonstrate. The complete process may take a bit longer but your still fishing in the mean time. Your motor should sell in reasonable time.

Location: Elk River, Minnesota		Hiya,

Most Dealers will do trades on motors. Reason being they profit on both ends, just like auto dealers do. It can be a little more costly as an individual sale as compared to trading a rig in, but it is all up to you. If you are happy with the trade value and new motor, that is all that matters.

I did it a couple of years back for a different brand of motor but same horsepower. I gained as well with a stronger motor.
