[QUOTE="TMO8853, post: 464416, member: 23466"] Yea, the more I did my research outboards in SC go for a lot of money, even the old ones. It's hard to find an old 10hp outboard that is clean and running under $500 around me. For instance, on CL there's a 1979 6hp Evinrude for $800! Just crazy. Anyways, I went and bought the 1982 7.5hp Evinrude for $245 on Friday. It is in great shape! Another guy offered the seller $400 for this motor while I was there buying it. The seller was a retired gentlemen that use to own a boat shop and based on his house and other toys he seemed to be well off. We talked in his driveway for over an hour about fishing, hobbies and life and he just wanted to sell the motor to someone that would use it and not try to flip it for a profit. I'll rebuild the carb, change water pump, sparks plugs, fuel lines and change the oil in the lower unit and I expect it to be trouble free for many years. Great thing about the old 2 strokes are that they are easy to work on, or at least my 1979 Evinrude 15hp that was given to me has been. [/QUOTE]
