        Serial # indicates it is a 1918. It has value.
        Condition is big factor as to how much.
        Sounds like your going to keep it. Want to
        get it running and use again?

              In the antique outboard hobby “most” motors
              don’t have an excepted value. That’s because there
              isn’t a lot of people interested in them and the
              greatest interest is in the 50′ & 60’s motors.
              That’s not to say it doesn’t have value or there
              aren’t people out there that would like to have it.
              It just that the number is small and its value
              varies from person to person so they are only
              willing to pay what its worth to them. Pricing
              is more about interest. A low price, say $50.00,
              should generate a lot of interest. $400.00 likely
              won’t generate any interest at all, taking in
              condition and location. However there will be
              interest where you live if you can reach those
              who would be interested in it. There is a free
              classified section here where you could list it
              for a price you feel is fair. I use to be interested
              in these but they have become too heavy for me
              so I have almost no interest in buying it. If you
              will send me your pictures I will try to give you a
              range from a lot of interest to if your lucky
              somebody may buy it. What’s fair will be up to
              you. You can email me at old.days@yahoo.com

                thanks for your info…around here all the guys that could have wanted it are gone…lots of boat shops up here but no one fiddles with these anymore.Now that you said 40’s/50’s year motors are more popular I had my grand dad’s early 50’s motor evinrude may dad said it left them on the lake more often then not…called it a lemon had it on a sawhorse in my garage wife had garage saie guy saw it offered her 2 grand and it went away. Now I wonder..but 2 grand is 2 grand. thanks again

                  There are still people Wisconsin that would be interested in it.
                  You just don’t know who they are, and they don’t know its for sale.
                  I don’t know what that 2 grand motor was but I’m betting you made the right move.

                      The person you are looking for might see your
                      add there. You never know but people who may
                      be looking for motors like yours are more likely
                      to be searching ad’s on face book and eBay.
                      However, I suspect I’m like you, and don’t know
                      how to use them. The “classifieds” on this web
                      site are free, easy to understand and the people who
                      are looking for a motor like yours would be more
                      likely to check here. I rarely sell anything and
                      when I do its usually to help someone that needs
                      something but I figured out how to use Craig list and
                      sold a 1920’s motor there a few years ago. Its free
                      also. There are quite a few members in Wisconsin
                      and northern Illinois. Some of them are interested
                      in motors like yours.

                        If you don’t mind shipping, on my dime of course, I’d be interested. Please send pictures to Alex_Lipson@hotmail.com and we can discuss from there. Thanks in advance.
