Hi Guys, my husband purchased and rarely used a 3 hp in '95 so he could set out decoys in Cedar Island, NC when duck hunting. It has been sitting in the garage since he died in 2005. A neighbor would like to purchase it, so I need the going $ rate for something like that. It will not start right now, but probably with a little TLC...there should be nothing major wrong with it. Greg was fastitious with engine care! It is a two cly which I have heard is nice! Didn't keep my butt from freezing though when I was sitting in the boat waiting for those darn ducks to fly! Thanks in advance for your help! jmouse

If it runs, then maybe 350-400 for a 1995 motor.
If I can't see it running when I get it, then 100 bucks.

:eek:My brother took the carborator apart, cleaned it out drained the old liquids out and I think it is running now, unless he ruined it for good! He said either it will be running or it never will when I finish with it! Haven't spoken with him to see the final results.

I bought an Evinrude 4hp in like new condition for 450 bucks yesterday. :)

If it's in excellent shape and perfect running condition then 400 to 500 is fair value in my market.
