Hi there onthemove....

The name Hurricane has been used on a lot of different engines...

see http://www.oldmercs.com/models.html

and you'll see what I mean.

The guys here like to get serial numbers to help ID an engine...then you will know the year and probably HP.

As for value...that's always a tough call. But; once we know what you have the guesses can begin

And; by the way.....Welcome to iboats!

Need the model number, too! Big value difference between a 1958 Mark 28 Super-Hurricane and a 1951 KG7 Super 10 Hurricane. Even bigger difference if it has a racing style lower unit...

Can anyone tell me what a KG7 Super 10 with H (Quickie) lower unit might be worth. I have one that has been in the family for 50 years. We used to use it on a class b hydro. And now I have decided I will never be building another hydro, so I think it's time to sell it.


Thanks

Hi Keith,
It's worth a fair bit. Exactly what, I'm not sure - the market these days is flukey. Not less than $1000, but probably not quite $2000. It's worth more if it is an actual KG7H (on the ID tag) vs. one that has had the Quicksilver added. Also worth more if you have the lower cowling. Might want to see if there are (or were recently) any on eBay...

It does not have the H I know by the ser# it's a 1950 model. I also know it has the H lower unit and not the Q. The H was only sold for for racing and is about 2" shorter then the Q. IF there is anyone on here that wants to make and offer please do.

If it's a 28, I'll give you $50 for it.

EDIT: Very bad form to hijack an old thread, TC. Even worse is to offer something for sale in the forum.
