I sold a 1987 9.9 Johnson long shaft electric start at my garage sale for I think $65. Ran ok, but not great (which is why I replaced it). Probably about half of what i could have gotten for it if I had been willing to put an ad in the Bargain News or on line, but I wasn't up for the phone calls and appointment no-shows.

If you buy a new engine, it will be a four stroke. No one makes small two strokes anymore. I understand why you want the smallest, lightest engine you can find; but I am curious: what is the attraction for you of the internal tank? I thought the internal tank models were designed for those applications where there was limited room in the vessel for an external tank. Your boat is certainly not one of those, so I was wondering why you have a preference for the internal tank.
