I have a 1979 johnson 4 hp seahorse outbord. It has little scratches and shows just a little age, but very clean, runs like a top and always starts.<br />I am looking to sell it now to help in the cost of a used jon boat. What is a motor like this selling for? please, any help would be appreciated.<br /><br />thanks ya'll<br />no4njnk

I'm sure your post has been read by others and the reason you haven't got a responce is because nobody knows what your motor is worth. A good rule of thumb is take what you can get.<br /><br />c/6<br /><br />Hooty

Re: im lost ...

Hi, No4njnk.<br /><br />Your expectations are not very realistic. This is not a sponsored site with helpers standing by to leap to your assistance.<br /><br />If you don't get an answer in 24 hours or so, nobody has come along who has a good answer. <br /><br />You should be able to get between $100 and $200 for your engine by listing it in a legitimate classified section or on eBay. Just one opinion.<br /><br />SLOOPY!! For crying out loud settle down! You offered to negotiate to buy it. Now wait for a response, DO NOT start bashing the man's engine. That is rude and annoying. :rolleyes:
