I agree they are fantastic motors and I've had zero issues with them. With the amount of hours I put on trolling I figure a kicker and a single main is a better option, also I would be looking at a 250 pound weight savings which would result in even better fuel savings. Right now I'm just kicking the idea around but figure my 140's are worth something now.

to get a baseline price multiply by the number of hours X $10.00 (standard commercial depreciation).In your case this is $5000.00 per engine. Take your initial purchase price minus tax , props and rigging.and minus out the depreciaton , giving your baseline. (if you paid $15000. each , they are now worth $10,000.)
Obviously they're are a lot of variables here , made , maintenance , condition,engine age , and what market you are in but this will give you a starting point.

Gota agree, keep those babies. They aren't even broke in. Everyone I know who has them has been extremely happy. In fact it was topic of discussion at our table at PSF dinner and one of guys is a Susie Mechanic and he couldn't recall many issues with the 140's, basically called them bullet proof.
Mine are still going strong after 4 years and 800 hours.
