[QUOTE="Bobscreekboy, post: 218314, member: 5408"] I just picked up this outboard from my buddy who had it in his garage an had no use for it. Its missing the cover but the motor looks pretty clean. I found out from the tag that it is a 7.5 HP and I used the model number (574.60080) to do some research and found out it was made in 1961. Other than finding the year it was made Im having trouble finding any info on this motor. If anyone knows anything about these Elgin motors I would appreciate any info I can get. I pulled it about 4 times yesterday after its been sitting for probably 2 years or so and it fired right up and ran. Also, my buddy told me to play around with it and see if I like it then make him an offer. I have no clue what it would be worth and I dont want to rip him off although Im sure he doesnt want much for it being that he has no use for it. Keep in mind it has no cover for it. Ill post pictures later and maybe someone could give me a rough value. Thanks [/QUOTE]
