I put the old trailer that was under the 14' Brooker on ebay and it already has a bid on it so looks like it will be gone to a new home.

You will be happy now , it's up over $300 this morning had 11 bids but only 2 bidders

George. I don't mind if the 2 of them fight it out. To be honest I would have been happy with just the $200 first bid.
I was going to start it at just $100 but EBay recommended a $200 starting bid. The more I get for the trailer the less the boat has cost me.
And I still have the 30hp Yamaha motor which I can sell + a decent 6hp Mercury which I will keep for some reason that
I haven't thought of yet. I will sell the 30hp yam as a non goer as it won't idle properly and the guy took the carby off it.
I have a whole heap of spares that the guy through in with the deal also.

with a bit of luck Frank they might hang on till the death and then go hammer and tong at it, I thought about throwing a few wild bids but I don't want to end up with it, what do you want for the yammie and does it have PTT and the controls

George. It ended up at $370. The Yammie is not elect trim tilt. It does have forward controls and is electric start.
I was going to put it on EBay and start at $300 as a non goer without cables. If you are interested you can have it for $250 with the spares,
It has almost new 12' cables that are worth $100 by themselves. OR I can supply 10' cables and then I could keep the 12'ers to
use on this boat.
The guy I bought it from said it was a good runner but wouldn't idle properly, so he took the carby off and was going to clean it up
but I bought the boat before he got around to doing it.

Hi Frank I was watching your trailer on ebay and was happy to see it go to $370, I was asking about the Yammie because I often have blokes calling asking for motors, the controls are hard to come by up this way so they don't like to buy them without controls.
I hope everything is going well with your new project, and you are on top of things.
Please give my regards to Marty when you catch up to him.
