Evinrude Boat Motor!

Here's some pictures of the motor I got at a garage sale Saturday. Have no idea what it is, what year, HP, etc... but it was aweful nice for $40... figured it was worth a lot more?

Does it run? This is a good excuse to get a small boat. If you want to use it make sure you check the impeller. It may look ok but with age they can just fall apart while out on the water, other than that its a sweet looking motor. I have a small 6hp wizard super twin i received for free. Right now I am in the process of determining if its worth getting running but my tbi conversion has stolen my interest at the moment.

If I was going to use it I'd probably through a new impeller in it. They are cheap and easy to install... usually. Plus look to see there's no water in bottom gear oil.

Pull on the starter cord and loads of compression. Tank was drained before storage.

It's in amazing shape. We were there late and it had no price, just a sign to make an offer... so most people just walked away thinking it was as expensive as it looked. When I asked what kind offers they had she said I was the first person to ask about it... I said I always start at $1. She laughed and said $50. so I opened my wallet and said all I had was $40? She said no you don't! I have $40 and you have a boat motor!

The guy listening had his wallet out and mouth wide open! Guess it was my turn?

At another garage sale (after I went to ATM for anther $40) there was a 22 inch monitor. Had the big adjustable stand and I asked the guy abiut it and he said $50... (here we go again) so he tells me it's a high definition... like 1610 by 1200 or... then spins the monitor up and down and it has the regular monitor cable and DVI... hooks it up to a computer he's selling to show me the difference... I knew what it was but wow what a difference. So I open my wallet and said "All I got is $40?" OK, you got a monitor!

Now I got two 22 inch DVI monitors that stand up... wonder what I can do with 2 long screens?

So what is this boat motor? Year? HP? Value? I dont have a boat and only got it to sell!

somewhere on it should be a plate, most likely down by where the clamp is. It is a model number that will tell us the hp and year
