Trade-in ?

[RIboater]

Being relatively new to boating I am looking to replace my 2002 200 hp Mercury outboard with a 140 hp 4 stroke Johnson/Suzuki. The Mercury came with the Wellcraft I recently purchased. The engine is fine but have always wanted a 4 stroke. <br /><br /> Anyway, Is there a way I can trade the mercury in for the Johnson (like a car?) or do I have to sell it on my own/broker it.

The 140 h.p. suzuki is unbelievably smooth and quiet, and fuel efficiant. but, It will not perform or be as quick out of the hole than your 200h.p. murcury.<br />I have a 2002 suzuki 40 hp on a 16 jon boat great motor.<br /><br />Suzuki40
