A seller on craigslist has a 50hp engine listed for sale or trade. He's asking $400 cash if no trade. The listing has been there awhile and the price has been dropping.
I wouldn't lay out cash money for this particular motor but I do have a couple things that I could trade and which cost me essentially zero. However, I don't want to give up something of value and end up with something worthless. The seller is about 40 miles from me as well, so in order to put eyeballs on the thing I'd have to make a trip.
Pro - seller will take trades. Has a stainless prop.
Con - seller says it runs but needs a starter. Doesn't have TNT which is something I'd prefer. Seems to be in rough condition. No idea on how well it runs. A new starter would cost anywhere from $60 to $120 plus shipping & taxes.
This is the only pic of the engine. Looks to be about late 70s or early 80s maybe?
Recommendations please! :joyous:
