Reply To: Sears Ted Williams 7.5 HP

[billw]

I mean no disrespect to the widow; I truly don’t. However, unfortunately, a Sears Ted Williams is not what a collector of old outboards would consider of any valve at all. They are noisier than most other engines and do not have the same power as other motors of the same rated horse power. There is nothing technologically significant about them, in terms of mechanical history, either. If I were you, I would list it on Craigslist or the like, for maybe $100 and maybe she will get lucky. REAL lucky. (Read that, “If you get any offer at ALL, take it.”) On a positive note, her husband must have been a good man. He may have liked fishing but he didn’t break the bank when he chose an outboard motor to buy.

Long live American manufacturing!
