7.5 Craftsman Sears Outboard Deluxe

[morpheus847]

Has anyone ever heard of these engines. Are they single or twin cylinders. Also how do they compare to a seaking 7.5 performance wise. Know a guy asking 100.00 for one would it be worth that much if in good shape or not.

Sears motors were made by a number a builders.
Difficult to know what you have without a model number.
Many of the newer 7.5 motors were built by Eska.
They are a 1 cylinder aircooled motor. In my opinion they are sub par preformers.with a sensitive fuel system and parts sometimes can be difficult to find.
Save up for a more mainline motor like Evinrude,Johnson or Merc.
