I would pay the xtra 1k and get a new one just so I could sleep better at night knowing I didnt get screwed.  You will be glad you did, an have 3-5 year warranty to match that pretty main motor. I would call a couple places in Oregon and get quotes on a new 8hp kicker, and then call the person that sold you your boat.  Ask if they will match the price.  Power tilt/trim electric start.  Go big!

I pick up a few every week that are non runners and flip them for under $500. Most need a carb clean and a water pump that’s it. There’s a Suzuki 9.9 in Shelton for $100 on offer up that’s a cheap gamble.  :tup:

Two motors are better than one. I actually went pull start on my kicker as added reliability for starting. 

Used kicker on a new shiny tricked out fish slaughtering mo'chine..... :puke:

The 8 hp is identical to the 9.9 except the carb and decals.

You can pick up a new 9.9 (Merc or Yamaha) for $2,250 for pull start.

If he plans on doing any significant salmon fishing there is no way he will last long without a kicker.  Just give him some time.  Fighting a fish with downrigger balls in the water on both sides, sea anchor in the back, hmmm no way it ends well most of the time

To hunt and butcher an animal is to recognize that meat is not some abstract form of protein that springs into existence tightly wrapped in cellophane and styrofoam.

oh cmon, a little shine goes a long way  :chuckle:
my kicker is pull/elec start....that pull start really came in handy when one of the wires broke off the starter solenoid...i was lazy (or cheap) and actually fished an entire summer before fixing it  :dunno:

When I bought my new Lund in 2003, I put an early '70s Johnson 4hp on it. I was quick to point out the lovely rainbow colored oil slick to my wife. She cut me loose to drop another couple grand on a kicker pronto! :chuckle:

wrong. Most  9 and 15 are identical (8 would be identical to 6 in most cases) , except the carb and decal, and a few use a slightly different impeller  :tup:

You might want to look at a 6hp!8 and the 9.9 are the same.

Dont go smaller than an 8hp.  Even an 8 is smallish for my 18 footer.  Trolls fine, but more often than not I would like just a tad more out of her.

For Mercury, here are the weights and displacement straight from their website:

6 - 57 pounds, 123 cc
8 - 84 pounds, 208 cc
9 - 84 pounds, 208 cc
15 - 99 pounds, 333 cc

It's pretty easy to see what ratings share the same motor.  You can look at the 15 and 9 and see they aren't the same sized motor.

For Yamaha, same story:

8 hp - 87 pounds, 212 cc
9.9 hp, 87 pounds, 212 cc
15 hp, 111 pounds, 362
