Yesterday I picked up for a mere $150 what I thought,and still do until proven otherwise,a nice little deal.
16' Pacific Mariner,on trailer,two motors,one is a 1957 ev 35 Mod #25930,the other a Johnson 10 mod #QD 12 51/52. Boat is in quite tidy shape and came with 2 gas cans,2 steering rigs,a full bimini top and several other bits and pieces.
They both turn over and compression seems OK but I have yet to do a proper test. At the moment I am having trouble removing the stb clamshell on the 35.The screws are seized and I think I may have to drill them out,unless anyone can offer a better idea.
I'm quite excited and can't wait to get at them,if anyone has any useful tips for dealing with these venerable motors I would be very glad of them.
Cheers all geoffwga1.

Seriously, $150 sounds like a great deal to me.
