In the antique outboard hobby “most” motors
don’t have an excepted value. That’s because there
isn’t a lot of people interested in them but the
greatest interest is in these 50′ & 60’s motors.
It just that the number is small and their value
varies from person to person so they are only
willing to pay what its worth to them. Pricing
is more about interest. A low price, say $100.00,
should generate a lot of interest. $800.00 likely
won’t generate any interest at all, taking in
condition and location. I have an interest in
them but I understand the lower unit is
problematic and parts are hard to come by so
I wouldn’t give you very much for it. How much
effort are you will willing to put into reaching
those who would be more interested in it than me?
That’s not a motor that is easy to come by. I’ve
only seen one of them sell so I cant give you an
estimate of what some might pay however getting
it running will likely bring you less money after
you deduct what you spent to get it going.
Someone interested in a motor in your condition
is going to go through it anyway and they (me
anyway) would be more interested in a motor that
hasn’t been messed with.
