Most people will hesitate to speculate about value because there are too many variables. If you want to maximize the sale price will you will need to learn the answers to the questions people here are asking. Stuck, compression, controls compatible with motor, etc? One could speculate $50 with what you know, $100 not stuck and with a decent compression check, $200 running in a barrel. More actually performing on a boat. But since you are not mechanically inclined, you say, the cost of replacing the coils, cleaning the carb, changing the water pump impeller … to get it running would likely be far more than the increase in what you could get out of it.
You might look at what motors are selling for on the local Craigslist. Maybe put it up for $100 and lower the price every couple of weeks until it sells.
Is there a high school or community college marine mechanics program that would want it as a donation?
