Reply To: 1916ish Evinrude value

[RICHARD A. WHITE]

Serial number says early 1920… As tubs has stated, that one is very rough. You will probably never recoup money invested in making it go again, unless you have your own machine shop to make and refurbish parts. Then count your labor as free.. tanks are another issue, not many around that make them pretty again. It can probably be made functional, but again, at a cost that will not be able to be recouped.

I have 6 Evinrude Rowboat motors, I love them, I would personally pass on this one and I have a machine shop in my garage.

But YOU decide what you want to do, the knowledge is here to help with repairs, or at least what to do to repair it. You get to decide if you want to do the repairs or pay someone to help.

$400 is a sky high price for what that needs.

Good luck and let us know what you choice is..

Richard
