Yamaha 8hp Short Shaft 2-Stroke
I purchased this outboard (2001 Yamaha 8hp Short Shaft 2-Stroke) on eBay in September of 2012 from Palm Beach Outboards. I have since purchased a larger engine for my boat.
Since acquiring the Yamaha, I have run it for no more than 4 hours in fresh water on an inflatable boat.
The engine reliably starts right up and is very responsive to the throttle.
My observations during operation of the outboard:
• Reliably starts right up and runs well
• When in gear under load, engine stalls out at low idle and bogs down at WOT (may just need a carb cleaning?)
• Appears to pump water strongly; however I would recommend changing the impeller as I do not know its history
• Entire outboard has been nicely repainted
• Outboard shows indication that it has been run in salt water
• Upper cowl has been repaired (as viewed from interior as repaired by previous owner) but looks great on exterior
• Photos are of actual outboard.
Includes (1) fuel line.
Does not include fuel tank.

Aston Martin DBS Carbon Black & V12 Vantage Carbon Black Revealed
Fri, 18 Dec 2009The Aston Martin DBS Carbon Black It’s been a little while since we had a limited edition from Aston Martin, and just like Land Rover where we got the Freelander 2 Sport and the Freelander 2 White & Black in two days, we;ve got a pair of new cars from Aston Martin together – The Aston Martin DBS Carbon Black and the Aston Martin V12 Vantage Carbon Black. I suppose if you’re Aston Martin and you’re looking for a way to move a few extra cars you may as well pick the two most powerful versions of your cars to have a go. Both Carbon Black Models get the same paint job; a hand painted effort which takes 50 hours to apply and quality check.
