"Fresh water or salt water usa

"Fresh water or salt water usage??? There are still a lot of these motors around....excellent shape would mean the motor has been gone through by a mechanic who replaced the ignition points and coils, rebuilt the carburetor, tested the lower unit for leaks and replaced the water pump. If that was done, they are probably worth a couple of hundred bucks each in good cosmetic condition. The eska is worth less. If they are salt water motors, they are worth even less. Just my opinion....check ebay for a more accurate estimate."
 
"Off the top of my head, and w

"Off the top of my head, and without seeing any of the motors - they are all "old" but neither collectable or highly "desired". The first three, while suitable for someone looking to maintain a "vintage" look on a project boat, are still just old engines with parts difficult to locate in most cases.

Number 1 and 2 - maybe (and stress maybe) 250 bucks on a really good day, if the motors are "excellent" as you note.

Number 3, 100-150 bucks, and only because it's an Ev.

Number 4, maybe 50 bucks if it's running well.

A couple of nice motors - just no demand for them. If you are in the U.S., after the EPA gets their way these will be relegated to ornaments in someones basement.

As Bob eludes to, if you want to get rid of them, throw them up on Ebay and let the market dictate what they are worth. Just try not to be too disappointed..."
