Hello All,
I need some advice. I am having a yard sale this weekend and will be selling a couple of my motors. One of them is a nice running 1954 Evinrude Fastwin 15hp with the original fuel tank. I am asking $200 for the setup. Do you think that is a fair price? I have seen them sold around here anywhere from $200 to $550 in various states of repair. Since I took these pictures I have since added decals.

Sounds fair to me. You must have more than that invested in it, don’t you?

I’d start with a higher asking price with a "Best Offer".
If you start with $200 you know someone is going
to offer you less!

with those looks…. and if the innards are just as nice and….functionnal why not not start at $400 + …. yard sales are nice but everybody want stuff for $20

at $200 it should go quick … it is cheaper than taxes on a new one

have you tried craiglist – eBay – kijiji to reacha wider population of buyers

With fuel tank too? I’d be asking ALOT more money and selling it on CraigsList or Ebay. Few people buy big ticket items at yard sales.

I’d happily give you the 200 bucks you’re asking for it if you were close enough…

The motor was given to me by a friend because it was taking up garage space.

I sold my boat and motor at this garage sale for $750.
