    That Johnson is a pretty common motor.
    Your motor would be better used as a source of parts
    IMO. as the power head has so much damage.
    I would suspect the gears in the lower unit
    mostly likely are junk also. There are parts
    there though. The reversing lock is often broken.
    If yours isn’t that a plus. Good props are always in
    demand. The magneto may still be good. The
    water drain screw is in high demand as there are
    no screws of that thread size being manufactured
    to replace it. What does the gas tank look like.
    Good tanks are always in demand. There is a
    motor out there you could save with what you
    have and what’s left over could put some other
    motors back in running condition. If your
    just looking to pass it on the value is minimal
    as they are so common. If your motor was stored
    well with no damage the most it would bring
    would be around $300.00 +/- but they can be found
    for much less. I got one last month for $50.00
    that with some spark plug wires and a lot of
    cleaning will be ready for the water again.

    A "Boathouse Repair" is one thats done without having tools or the skills to do it properly.
