That was an absolutely beautiful motor. It is priced too high for what I would pay for a 5.5 too though. I like those little motors and I probably own too many of them now. There are a few others l would still buy and pay up for, but not $450. While it’s nowhere near as nice cosmetically, I bought this one back in October for $40. It was stuck when I bought it and that ended up being the gearcase from someone running it dry. It freed up and cleaned up well. The rest of the motor is mechanically near perfect. It still had original ignition components under the flywheel. All of that got replaced. It looks decent, it’s a great little runner now and I have around 100 bucks in it. It may get a chance to take me fishing next season. I enjoy running these when they’re good and strong. This one seems to be. I get bored with them when they are getting worn and down on power, but they are still great little fishing motors.
