Well I'm going to sell the 9.9 Nissan. Anybody have any idea what a fair price would be? I'm not sure what year it is. Probably 1987. It started fine.

As I'm laying in bed thinking about this whole engine thing the thought crossed my mine to just go sans engine again. My marina really frowns upon sailing up to the dock though, and with the predominate wind from the SE here it puts me on a lee shore with a couple tacks through an anchorage. I did it fine on my 19 footer, as I havn't had this boat out yet I'm not sure what she'll sail like. Thats the reason i was getting a motor in the first place, it would be a little easier getting off the dock. I may try sailing out a few times before I sell the motor and see how it goes. As for docking under sail I could always anchor just off the dock and warp in. I've done that before when I had a really tight spot to go into. My slip isn't a t-head. I'm on the inside of a very long dock with a good bit of room fore and aft. The t-heads are on the otherside. This is why I want the smallest lightest thing I can get. If I do buy a 4 stroke I'd like to get that 6hp with the internal tank.
