Best Place (online or shop) to buy petrol outboard motor.

Access · 11-07-2007 11:41PM #1

My dad recently bought a large Ribbed dingy from the Uk and i would like to get him an outboard petrol motor for it new or second hand.

The Specs state that it can take an outboard up to 3.3 HP

Now... i haven't a clue where to begin looking for one, so could someone point me in the right direction of a shop (Meath / Dublin area Or Kerry (dads home)) or even an online store.

Any help with this is greatly appreciated!

Killeen marine in Dalkey are one of the best around. They also do second hand. Make sure that the engine isn't too heavy or overpower for the boat. Often a dinghy will state the max it will take but when the boats loaded it could be too much.

I have a Johnson 3.5HP (About 3 years old) with less than 10 hours on it for sale. It was used as a spare engine. Reason im selling is because i'm upgrading to a 5HP as i've a bigger boat now. Cost me €750 and there's a receipt (somewhere) for it. Bought from O' Malley marine

Make me an offer, look's the exact same as the pic below. There isin't even a scratch on it, and it starts first pull. Run's on a 50:1 petrol/2stroke mix and can be lifted with one hand

Still have it, but not worth selling... keeping it for sentimental value at this stage
