As said the last edition was from 2002, the other thing is that they are averaged values from a range of sellers, as well as from a range of locations. I have noticed that old outboards are high priced in Calif., presumably because they are used to paying high prices for most other things anyway. Places in the south with hot climates and mainly salt water generally have less motors available which likely has an effect on cost.
In my area, if it’s not running and may be missing some parts, it’s a $50 motor as far as I’m concerned, unless its one I really want badly. Mercs bring more, but they cost a huge amount for parts in comparison to most other motors, with the the possible exception being K1-5 motors. A $50 OMC motor can easily turn into a $300 motor, before you know it.
