Hi all, I’m hoping some of you are willing to educate me on what some old outboards may be worth. I’ve attached a couple photos for reference. Thank you in advance for any assistance.
June 23, 2022 at 12:28 pm #261860A lot depends on where they are located and their mechanical condition. Are they stuck? or free?. Most the you have are pretty common around these parts, S-E Michigan. The Jet is unusual and should attract some attention. The Scott Atwater looks to be in nice shape with it’s original stand.
My opinion, value range from $20 parts motors to maybe $100 for the Jet… the rest somewhere in between.

PS, where are they located?
June 23, 2022 at 6:46 pm #261866I never pay more than $100 cdn (80U$) for motor that will need 75-100$ in basic refurbish parts ..if available like coils
points condensers carb kits etc.. gear oil …
but… one may be a long saught model for somebody will to pay more … who knows.

I’m near Traverse City. I pulled a few randomly which did spin, but I haven’t gone through and checked each one. I sold the group with the Scott Atwater for $225, which seemed okay. Someone told me they thought the Outboard Jet may be worth more than the rest, so trying to suss that out in particular.

June 25, 2022 at 6:00 am #261918Yeah, in my book, the jet is worth as much as all the others combined, not that it’s worth a whole ton. $150, absolute tops, for me. Just my opinion.
Not to get off topic, but looking at the jet (one of which I have never had) it seems like the power head is pointing the right way but the jet end is facing backwards. I don’t get it.
Long live American manufacturing!
