Most were pretty much free or bought for boats I no longer own, and the boats sold but the motors never did. I can't see selling a good running motor for $50 because sooner or later I'll need it of find another boat for it, if not, they can bury me with them. I used to say my limit was 20 motors, then I changed that to 50, I guess now I'll have to make that 100 motors soon. I'm still not as bad as the guy two doors down from me, he's got motors in his kitchen, bedroom, and closets, plus two old school buses in the yard full of outboards and parts. One older neighbor said he started gathering them up in the 60's. He keeps a book in the house and he's got every one numbered and each one gets pulled out and run at least once a year. He'll clean the carbs, replace the impellers, get them running 100% then he buries them back in the bus or basement and moves on to the next one. Likely to do it all again next year.</blockquote>
