[QUOTE="PunkR0ckz, post: 522577, member: 34198"] First of, it depends on what you want out of it. If you are looking for a quick sale, you could sell it for parts, as is, obviously. Otherwise, if you're looking for the most amount of money; clean the carburetors, change the water pump, change the oil in the lower unit, change the sparkplugs if needed. As far as the buyer side of this goes, I would say a very crudely made 2x4 stand is the most crucial thing. No one wants to bend down to inspect an outboard engine or wants to take it off a boat (unless its discounted for the labour done to do so). Having a pressure gauge ready to prove it has great compression is also something I would love, as a buyer. If you have the last shop inspections/evaluations/repairs bills, that's also great.
