Winter seems to be picking up steam, and I'd like to find a cool motor to work on this winter. I'd like it to be something I haven't done before. I have tools to work on Johnson and Evinrude motors. Marketplace and Craiglist seems pretty slim right now locally, so I'd be willing to drive a bit to pick up one. Any suggestions on model/year to look for that would be worth picking up? I've mostly worked on 5.5/6 hp motors and the 1974-1992 9.9/15s.

Not sure anyone is going to be able to answer that. Every area has different deals and different models used. Best I can say is pick up whatever makes you happy.

Best of luck!

Can’t help you there.
Search for an older motor. Cheap and easy work on.
Good luck on your search.
