What’s it worth, assuming that it turns over?

I’ll know tomorrow whether I’m okay to sell it.

Honestly about $100 to $200. If, it were clean and running without issues..about $300. Very common motors. Again, everything depends on condition, location and emotional value.

How I would see it:

Condition unknown (found in barn….). Stuck $25 +/-.
Same but not stuck, has compression, shifts. No spark. $50-$100.
Has spark, or runs in barrel. Has tank? Hoses? Controls? Tiller arm? Electric start? Decent appearance? Prop not too bunged up? Gearcase contains lube, not much water or metal fragments? $100-200.
Test run on boat and performs. Mixture adjustment works from too rich to too lean. Maybe $300.

Price for a new 25 hp outboard? 3-4-5 thou? These old motors are a huge bargain for what they can do.
