Looking at a 2000 Yamaha Vmax V150TLRY 150hp. Seller is asking $3,500. Second owner, could not say how many hours, claims that it runs great, been in storage 18 months. Seller said it was purchased used from Bass Pro Shops.

Is there a way to pull hours off this motor? What should I should be looking at besides compression test? Is 3,500 a fair price?

Any other info you could provide is appreciated. Thanks!

The asking price sounds fair for that engine if 100%. But no matter the price, if you're not able to test an 18 year old motor under load I'd walk away from the sale. Otherwise it's a crap shoot on what you're purchasing. Perform all the diagnostic tests you want on an outboard when not under load. The end-all be-all test is how it performs pushing a load.
