Don't see your make? This is only a sample. We consider a wide range of marine engines, running or not and sold separately from the boat. Send us the details anyway.

We consider single engines and multi-engine sets.

Condition considered

Condition Shapes the Offer

Running

Starts and runs cleanly? We consider the make, horsepower, hours and market demand — not simply scrap value.

Needs service

Running rough or overdue a service? Still worth sending.

Not running

Won't start or seized? We still want the details.

For parts

Only useful for spares or missing components? Send us the details.

How we value it

What We Look At

For engines sold separately, make, horsepower, hours and running condition are key factors. Clear details help us make a more accurate assessment.

Make, model & horsepower

Which engine it is and how powerful. Year, serial number and shaft length help if you have them.

Engine hours

How much it has run.

Outboard, inboard or sterndrive

Each is valued differently, so tell us which type you have.

Compression & running condition

Runs cleanly, needs work or only suitable for parts?

What's included

Controls, rigging, propeller and gauges can add value when included.

Multiple engines

Several engines to sell? Send the details together and we can review them as one lot.

What shapes the value

What's a Boat Engine Worth?

Boat engine values depend heavily on make, model, horsepower, hours, running condition and what’s included. Non-running engines can still have value depending on their condition and specification. Send us the engine details and we’ll assess what you have.

Whatever your situation

Unusual Situation? Talk to Us.

Not every sale is straightforward. Finance, missing documents or other complications don't automatically rule it out. Tell us the situation and we'll review what's possible.

01

Still finance on it?

Outstanding finance or lease? Tell us the situation — we'll clarify what's needed step by step.

02

Missing papers?

No receipt, service record or manual? Tell us what you have — in many cases it's still possible.

03

Selling for or with others?

Helping a parent, an estate or a boat you co-own? Tell us your role and we'll explain what's needed.

04

Just want it dealt with?

No listings, no viewings, no waiting for the right buyer? Send us the details and we'll take it from there.

Common questions

Boat Engine Selling Questions

Do you buy an engine without the boat?+

Yes. We buy outboard, inboard and sterndrive engines separately — no boat needs to be included.

Do you buy an engine that won't run or is seized?+

Yes, in many cases. Non-running or seized engines can still have value depending on their condition — send us the details.

More on this: when an old engine is no longer worth repairing.

Do you buy more than one engine at a time?+

Yes. Send the details for each engine and we can review them together as one lot.

Do you buy engines without paperwork?+

In most cases, yes. Let us know what documentation you have and we'll explain how it affects the process.

More on this: contracts, documents and ownership transfer.

Do you buy an engine that still has finance or a loan on it?+

Yes — this is common. Tell us the situation and we'll factor it into the offer and settlement.

How do you decide the price?+

We look at the make, model, horsepower, hours, running condition and what's included. Photos and accurate details help us assess the engine properly.

Do you charge any fees or commission?+

No. Our review and offer are free, there's no obligation, and BoatsHaven charges no broker commission or seller fee.

Who handles collection and the paperwork?+

We do. We arrange collection or transport based on the engine, its weight and access at its location, and we prepare the transfer documents for the sale.

Does it matter where the engine is kept?+

Tell us where it is and how it's stored or mounted, and we'll confirm the collection options. Still on the boat, on a stand, in a garage or in storage are all fine.

How and when do I get paid?+

Usually by bank transfer, with the amount and details confirmed in the agreement before ownership is transferred. If another method suits you better, tell us and we'll go through the options.
