Re: Evinrude Mate 2 serial 20402E
I may be able to help a little here. I have a total of four of those little motors, the latest to which I bought two weeks ago in Los Angeles. It it a 1970 "mate" that has the exposed flywheel. This motor is almost in showroom condition and only needed fresh gas to run like a top, and I paid 100.00. I have the same year model in the Johnson that is in great shape that I paid the same price for. Those two are the 1.5hp variety, then I have two Johnson 2hp (a 1972 and a 1976 Colt) Both run great and one I got for 20 bucks and the other for 40.00.
Bottom line... your little motor was not 350.00 when it was new (I don't think) and if you have been offered that, AND if you not going to use it or collect it... it is a more than fair offer. If you told me it was new in a box and had never been run, I might offer 250.00.
Just my opinion.... have a GREAT holiday.
