Outboard Motors for Sale – Find the Right Engine for Your Boat

If you’ve been hunting for outboard motors for sale and keep running into overpriced dealers or vague listings with no real specs, you’re not alone. The outboard motor market has a lot of noise in it. At S.H Continental Marine, we cut through all of that. We carry outboard motors for sale across a wide range of brands, horsepower ratings, and shaft lengths — new, used, and rebuilt — and we ship to customers all over the world.

This page covers everything you need to know before buying an outboard motor: what specs actually matter, which brands we carry, what the different power ranges are suited for, and how the ordering process works. Whether you’re rigging a new boat, replacing a tired engine, or building out a commercial setup, we have outboard motors for sale that will fit your application.

Why People Come to Us for Outboard Motors for Sale

There’s no shortage of places to find outboard motors for sale online. So why do customers keep coming back to S.H Continental Marine? A few reasons.

First, we know outboard motors. We’re not a general auto parts reseller who happens to have marine engines on a shelf somewhere. This is what we do. Our team understands the difference between a short shaft and a long shaft, between a 4-stroke carbureted engine and an EFI model, between a saltwater-rated motor and one that’s fine for freshwater but will corrode in a season if you run it offshore.

Second, our inventory of outboard motors for sale is genuinely broad. We carry Yamaha, Suzuki, Honda, Mercury, Tohatsu, Parsun, and other major brands. Horsepower ranges from 2.5hp portable kickers all the way to 350hp V8 powerhouses. We have options for jon boats, fishing boats, pontoons, center consoles, RIBs, commercial vessels, and everything in between.

Third, we ship worldwide. If you’re in Europe, Australia, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, or anywhere else with a coastline or waterway, we can get outboard motors for sale to your door.

Outboard Motors for Sale – Full Specs on Our Most Popular Models

Here’s a detailed look at the outboard motors for sale we move most frequently, with the specs that actually matter for buying decisions:

Yamaha F25 – 25HP 4-Stroke

Horsepower: 25hp | Configuration: 3-cylinder, 4-stroke, SOHC | Displacement: 552cc | Weight: 57kg (15″ shaft) | Shaft Length: 15″ (S) or 20″ (L) | Starting: Electric or manual | Fuel Delivery: Carbureted | Max RPM: 5,500–6,000 | Gear Ratio: 2.00:1 | Fuel Tank: Portable or integrated. The F25 is one of the most reliable small outboard motors for sale in Yamaha’s entire lineup. It handles a wide range of small to mid-size boats and is a favorite for fishing applications where quiet operation and fuel efficiency matter. Saltwater compatible with proper flushing.

Suzuki DF70A – 70HP 4-Stroke EFI

Horsepower: 70hp | Configuration: 3-cylinder inline, 4-stroke, DOHC | Displacement: 1,044cc | Weight: 112kg | Shaft Length: 20″ (L) or 25″ (UL) | Fuel Delivery: Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) | Max RPM: 5,500–6,000 | Gear Ratio: 2.29:1 | Lean Burn Control: Yes | Offset Drive: Yes. One of Suzuki’s most popular mid-range outboard motors for sale. The DF70A’s lean burn system significantly improves fuel economy at cruising speeds. The offset drive shaft design lowers the motor’s center of gravity, improving handling. A smart pick for aluminum fishing boats and mid-size center consoles.

Mercury 115 FourStroke EFI

Horsepower: 115hp | Configuration: Inline-4, 4-stroke | Displacement: 2,065cc | Weight: 163kg | Shaft Length: 20″ (L) or 25″ (XL) | Fuel Delivery: Electronic Fuel Injection | Idle Charge: Yes (charges battery at idle) | Digitally Encoded Security System (DESS): Yes | Recommended Hull: 16–22ft boats. The Mercury 115 is among the best-selling outboard motors for sale in the 100–125hp class worldwide. It’s lighter than most competitors at this power level, which improves handling and fuel economy. A strong choice for bay boats, flats boats, and light offshore use.

Yamaha F150 – 150HP 4-Stroke EFI

Horsepower: 150hp | Configuration: Inline-4, 4-stroke, DOHC | Displacement: 2,670cc | Weight: 191kg | Shaft Length: 20″ (L) or 25″ (XL) | Fuel Delivery: EFI | Variable Trolling RPM (VTR): Yes | Recommended Hull: 18–25ft boats. The F150 is one of the most recognized outboard motors for sale in the world. It has been Yamaha’s flagship mid-range motor for years and for good reason: reliable, efficient, and well-supported everywhere. A go-to for flats boats, bay boats, and offshore center consoles up to around 21 feet.

Honda BF200 – 200HP V6 4-Stroke

Horsepower: 200hp | Configuration: V6, 4-stroke, SOHC, 24-valve | Displacement: 3,471cc | Weight: 234kg | Shaft Length: 20″ (L) or 25″ (XL) | Fuel Delivery: PGM-FI (Honda’s programmed fuel injection) | Lean Burn Control: Yes | BLAST (Boosted Low Speed Torque): Yes | VTEC Valve Timing: Yes | Recommended Hull: 22–28ft boats. Honda’s BF200 is one of the most refined outboard motors for sale in the 200hp class. The VTEC valve timing gives it a notably broad torque curve — strong low-end for heavy loads, strong top-end for speed. Excellent choice for large center consoles, cabin cruisers, and sportfishers.

Suzuki DF300AP – 300HP V6 4-Stroke

Horsepower: 300hp | Configuration: V6, 4-stroke, DOHC, 24-valve | Displacement: 4,028cc | Weight: 272kg | Shaft Length: 25″ (XL) or 30″ (XXL) | Fuel Delivery: Sequential Multi-Point EFI | Lean Burn: Yes | Dual Prop Option: Available | Gear Ratio: 2.29:1 | Recommended Hull: 26–35ft+ offshore boats. The DF300AP is one of the best high-output outboard motors for sale for serious offshore performance. It produces tremendous torque across the RPM range, handles rough water with authority, and is a popular choice for twin or triple installations on large offshore fishing boats.

Tohatsu MFS9.8B – 9.8HP 4-Stroke Portable

Horsepower: 9.8hp | Configuration: Single cylinder, 4-stroke | Displacement: 222cc | Weight: 27kg | Shaft Length: 15″ (S) or 20″ (L) | Starting: Manual or electric | Fuel Tank: 1L built-in (3L portable optional) | Best For: Tenders, inflatables, small aluminum boats, and as a kicker on larger vessels. Among the most practical small outboard motors for sale for anyone who needs reliable low-maintenance power on a light boat. Tohatsu makes some of the most trusted small outboards in the marine world and the MFS9.8 is a workhorse.

Choosing the Right HP When Browsing Outboard Motors for Sale

Horsepower is the number most people look at first when shopping outboard motors for sale. But choosing the right HP isn’t just about picking the biggest number that fits. Every boat hull has a maximum rated HP — going over that is dangerous and going too far under it leaves performance on the table.

• 2.5–10hp: Tenders, inflatables, kayak outboard brackets, small jon boats
• 15–25hp: Small aluminum fishing boats, pontoon kickers, canoes with motor brackets
• 30–60hp: Mid-size aluminum and fiberglass fishing boats, lightweight center consoles
• 70–115hp: Larger fiberglass fishing boats, bay boats, flats boats up to ~20ft
• 125–200hp: Full-size center consoles, dual-console boats, light offshore use
• 225–300hp+: Large center consoles, offshore sportfishers, twin-motor setups on large hulls

When you contact us about outboard motors for sale, we’ll always ask about your boat’s rated HP, hull weight, and intended use before recommending a specific motor. Getting this right matters.

Shaft Length – The Detail Most Buyers Overlook

When you’re looking at outboard motors for sale, shaft length is one of those specs that quietly causes a lot of problems when people get it wrong. The shaft needs to match your transom height. Putting a short shaft on a tall transom leaves the prop too shallow and causes cavitation. Putting a long shaft on a short transom buries the prop too deep and kills efficiency.

• Short (S) – 15″: Tenders, inflatables, small jon boats, canoes
• Long (L) – 20″: Most production fiberglass and aluminum boats with a standard transom
• Extra Long (XL) – 25″: Boats with tall transoms, jack plates, or offshore hulls designed for a raised motor position
• Ultra Long (UXL) – 30″: Large offshore boats, high-performance cats, and specialty hulls

All outboard motors for sale in our inventory are listed with available shaft options. If you’re not sure what shaft length your boat needs, send us the transom height measurement and we’ll confirm before you order.

2-Stroke vs 4-Stroke Outboard Motors for Sale

A decade ago this was a real debate. Today, 4-stroke outboard motors dominate the market for good reason — they’re quieter, more fuel efficient, and cleaner. Most new outboard motors for sale in any significant horsepower class are 4-stroke.

That said, 2-stroke outboard motors for sale still have their place. They’re lighter pound-for-pound than 4-strokes at the same HP, which makes them attractive for small boats and inflatables where engine weight matters. They’re also simpler mechanically and cheaper to repair. And in markets where fuel quality is inconsistent, 2-strokes can be more forgiving.

We carry both. When you’re ready to look at outboard motors for sale, we’ll help you figure out which type fits your situation and budget.

Brands of Outboard Motors for Sale That We Carry

We carry outboard motors for sale from the brands that matter in the marine world:

Yamaha Outboard Motors for Sale

Yamaha is the world’s largest outboard motor manufacturer and for many boaters, the default choice. Their F-series 4-stroke lineup covers 2.5hp to 425hp. Known for reliability, global parts availability, and resale value. We carry Yamaha outboard motors for sale from the portable F2.5 up through the flagship F425XCA V8.

Suzuki Outboard Motors for Sale

Suzuki’s DF series is known for fuel efficiency — particularly their lean burn and idle charge technology. The DF range runs from 2.5hp to 350hp. Strong reputation in the Asian and Pacific markets. We carry Suzuki outboard motors for sale across the full DF range.

Mercury Outboard Motors for Sale

Mercury is dominant in North America and has a strong global presence. Their FourStroke lineup is respected for performance and their Verado series offers supercharged power for serious offshore work. We carry Mercury outboard motors for sale from the Mercury 3.5 FourStroke up through the V10 400hp Verado.

Honda Outboard Motors for Sale

Honda makes a respected range of 4-stroke outboard motors. Their BF series is known for smooth, quiet operation and excellent build quality. The BF2.3 through BF250 covers most applications. Honda outboard motors for sale appeal especially to boaters who value refinement and long service intervals.

Tohatsu Outboard Motors for Sale

Tohatsu makes some of the lightest outboard motors for sale at each horsepower rating. Their MFS 4-stroke range is popular for tenders, inflatables, and small fishing boats. They’re also known for value — good performance at a competitive price. We carry Tohatsu from 2.5hp to 140hp.

Saltwater vs Freshwater Outboard Motors for Sale

Not all outboard motors for sale are built the same way for different environments. Saltwater use requires motors with corrosion-resistant components — stainless or anodized aluminum hardware, sealed electrics, and sacrificial anodes on the lower unit. All major brands offer saltwater-rated versions of their motors, and that spec matters if you’re running in the ocean, estuaries, or tidal water.

For freshwater use only — lakes, rivers, inland waterways — you have more flexibility. But even then, flushing your motor after every use is good practice and extends service life significantly. See our guide on How to Flush a Yamaha Outboard Motor for the correct process.
