Re: 1979 25 HP Evinrude Electric Start selling for $300, a good deal????
I would be really suspicious of someone selling a motor that only needs a $10 part lol. Why doesn't he buy the part and sell the motor for more? I don't buy anything unless I hear it run, unless I buy it just for a parts motor.
Of course if the motor is in good shape and all it really needs is a $10 part it is a good deal. But I suspect there is far more wrong with it than a $10 part lol. Usually when it sounds to good to be true, it is IMO. I have dealt with people like this a lot in the outboard and vehicle world. I would want to see pics (up close pics, not pics from 100 yards away) before I went to look at it.
All that said, if it isn't to far of a drive (like under 30min) I would go look at it. Sometimes you do find diamonds in the rough
