My father purchased a brand-new NS30A32 Nissan 30hp Marine motor in 1989, and then left it in the original box for the next 25 years, where it's been sitting in an unheated shed in Fairbanks, Alaska. Dad passed away this spring, and now we're trying to help Mom sell his boating equipment.
The motor and fuel can are still bright and shiny. However we're wondering what might go bad on a motor that's been sitting all this time, or if it's still essentially in "new" condition. Also, what would be an attractive-but-fair price for this motor, assuming that we can sell it?
Any feedback is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
