Hey all,
I'm looking for an 8-15hp outboard for my jon boat. Checking Craigslist I found a 70's Johnson 9.5hp outboard and the guy wants $325 for it. It supposedly runs well but I haven't seen it yet. How much would one of these go for? He doesn't have a specific model year but said it's 70's model. Is it worth the price if it's in good running condition? I don't know what the market value is for old outboards these days. Nada guides said a 1979 10hp electric start (the earliest year Johnson motor on Nadaguides) is worth $160. Should I look into it or waste of time?
