Thanks Pappy!
I'm keeping an eye out. Every now and then I see some that catch my attention (combination of condition and price) but hasn't been very many.
I'm leaning 9.9 up to 15, primarily Johnson or Evinrude.
There is a brand new Honda BF5 (5 HP) down the road that's decently priced...
Hello Guys! What would be a fair price for a good shape great running 1977 Evinrude 15? Assuming the running part is true. New plugs. I am not sure which model just yet. Will update If I can gather that info.
Thank You!
I'm Baaaack! Ended up having to put things on hold. We moved and finally got settled in.
The new house has a garage so that's a plus for these projects. Also have a metal carport(where shes been under since we got here).
Eyeing a 15 HP Evinrude 77 Model for $475 asking price. Looks to be in...

Not a bad looking 9.9
Here is the 220 one:

Another excellent idea! I used offerup.. or maybe letgo.. which I think may be similar in the past. I will take a look there as well.
I found a 4 HP Johnson that looks almost same as that CL johnson for 220, add says it ran last year and they haven't tried starting it since(been in storage)...
:lol:
If I can get 3-5 out of it I'll consider it worth it. The Wife told me yesterday "Why wouldn't you spend more money to get a boat that's already in good shape" lol. I haven't really done all that much really, but it looks a lot better than it did. I may end up selling the Minkota 55Lb I...
I like the johnson as well. I think there may be some other sea king series Johnson's or evinrudes, I just happend to see the Montgomery Ward and looked that up. There is a really good shape 6 HP Johnson but asking 650... does that sound about right? Actually its 750.. ehh...
5hp Johnson seahorse runs fine needs a new pinion gear. Part only costs 30 dollars I just don't need the motor. Asking $250 OBO
1954 johnson 10hp. Runs I have the original 6 gallon gas tank to go with it. New propeller
Evidently that's not the right sea king lol, google had me reading about people not caring to much for these Chrysler motors. Gonna post a couple others in just a bit.
Lolol forgot the majority of the holes were not as deep as the transom bolts.. ah well. I may cut em down.. or leave them.. thought about making a hatch/storage box in the back... if I do i'll leave em as they are.
Here is before I started sealing up.
Seals seemed to turn out good. Hopefully lol. Did a little in the hole as best I could and then around the washer and under the bolt head.
Tomorrow I'll try and find some 3/16 hardware for the remaining 6 side holes.. and a cap so I can drill my last holes and wrap that up... then I'll be...
