I have been offered a 1958 or 59 18hp minus the lower unit for $50. Is it worth it to part it out or would I be wasting my time?

It's an evinrude. I have not gone to look at it yet, just going off what I am told about it. If it's something that it will be hard to find buyers for the parts, than I am not sure I want to mess with it. But if I can sell the parts quickly, I might give it a shot.

I recently bought a piece of a similar motor for $1. To date have sold $56 worth of parts off it.
