1950’s mercury cruiser motors

These were passed down from an uncle to my Father many years ago. My father has passed and we would love for these to go to someone who will appreciate them as much as he did.  Any offers or ideas of what they may be worth?<!–more–>

They look to be in good shape, and the lower cowels are there. Most of those were thrown away. Of course the cost depends on if the engines turn over, has spark etc…

I paid $300 recently for a beautiful all restored, ready for the water KF-7 super ten. Where about are the engines located?

Have you thought about keeping them in the family and letting future generations enjoy something that has been passed down?  Once they are gone they are gone.

There are lots of members in the club that can help or any interested family member out getting them going again.

These are located in North Texas about 60 miles north of Dallas

Yes we checked with the family and so far no one has room or wants them.  I would love for them to stay but sadly not many are into fishing or boats these days.

If the port side is as complete and original looking as the starboard side, and it turns over, I wouldn’t hesitate to pay $300 for the Cruiser, as it is. And I would feel like I got a real deal on it, too. Unfortunately, I live on Cape Cod; so that rules ME out.  To me, the Mark 20 (the motor on the left) might be worth $100-$150, if it turns over. Both motors would probably need very extensive work to be reliable runners.

Long live American manufacturing!
