Hi All, new here. New to outboard motors, I've allways had I/O's.
I recently stumbled on a PAIR of RDE-17-S motors. (1955 25hp Johnson)As it turns out not JUST a pair, these serial numbers are sequential, one right after the other..
1304020 and 1304021. Seems hard to believe they have been kept together all these years.
So My questions are:
1. How common is this, Are they worth any more as a pair?
2. Are there collectors out there that would be interested in them?
3. How much should I expect to get out of them?
Yes they BOTH run, I'm not a collector, I don't have a boat I can use them on, (I'm looking for a 40-50 hp long shaft) Willing to sell or trade..
Thanks for any and all comments..
