'97 Mariner Super Mag 225 for possible sale or trade

I have a very strong '97 Super Mag built by Mariner Performance. Complete, motor runs solid. Just added some new pics.

Motor is on my Gambler 209, I'm the 2nd owner, bought the boat in June of 2016 from Original owner. As a tournament fisherman now Captain of my Son's high school team a race engine isn't the best option. This motor is very reliable, and has been an absolute joy not to mention fast, last season I had a lower unit problem (Braid in the prop shaft seal), during a tournament so I am understanding the complications of a super duty, high rpm motor like this. Instead of a lower from any old 2.5 it had to be a torque master.

At this point I'm offering to trade this motor for a quieter, reliable newer Merc. Again, we can meet at any lake, this Super Mag runs very solid. As you can imagine on a quite morning when I fire that super mag the other 200 boats take note, nothing sounds as good in my opinion but it's just not practical so I want to sell her while she's strong and someone with a need for speed can play with this one.

How much are you asking for the motor?

Taking offers at this point. Not sure with lower unit issues what it's worth.

I'm not really sure either, think about it and let me know. Thanks

If you are interested in trade, Call me I have a very nice 1996 200HP EFI, 20in. fresh water VERY low hours, less than 200 hours. Even trade only. Jim @ 813-309-4420

Dam that motor looks familiar

Any thoughts on what you want for it with the bad lower?

Can you text me your desired price?

Give you $3,000 for it lower will cost me another $2,500 if i can get it rebuilt or not plus gotta ship it to me.

As tournament fisherman now Captain of my Son's high school team a race engine isn't the best option. This motor is so reliable, and has been an absolute joy not to mention fast, but now that I have had a problem, during our tournament last weekend, I am understanding the complications for a super duty, high power, high rpm motor like this.

Braided line got behind the Tempest 25 and effected the prop shaft seal filling my lower unit with water. Even a Torque Master doesn't last long without lube & it had to have been between my last 2 outings. I checked the lower unit regularly.

However now I'm in a financial situation, having just upgraded my Gambler with dual 12" HDS 3's, Navico 3D structure scan, brand new Xi5 w/Pinpoint GPS, brand new 3 bank, all in the last few weeks so another $3500 for a Torque Master is not in the budget & this engine is just too strong for anything less.

Offering to sell or trade motor, or consider offers for the entire boat with or without electronics keep in mind I just put $7K best of the best latest of the latest on her.

I can take close ups, videos of her starting and running, cover off images, just ask. Boat is still in Gadsden Al but I'm bringing it back to Montgomery Sat.

As you can imagine on a quite morning when I fire that super mag the other 200 boats take note, nothing sounds as good in my opinion but it's just not practical so I want to sell her while she's strong.
