I recently inherited my dad's old boat motor that he bought used back in the 60's and the kept around even after he got a bigger, better motor because nobody wanted to pay much for it, and he loaned it to me and also other family members to use on boats that we had. I don't think that it has been run in the past 10 years or so and I really don't have a use for it, but it seems like something that should be preserved.
About all that I know about it is that dad always said it was 5 hp, but I didn't see any data plate to say that. It still has the original paint in fairly good condition and the name and all still shows as does the M/W on the front cowling. It has the self-contained fuel tank, and is a two cycle engine. It has no revers but pivots a full 360 degrees to allow you to back with it. It has a spark advance on the front, just above the throttle, which is a lever.
I am looking for help to better identify it and possibly find out what it may be worth, if anything? Any help or advice that you can offer will be appreciated!
