Hard to say but I guess $175 to $400... It might look like it's in excellent condition but could require alot to get it going. So u can base the price on that for starters...

i would not pay more than $200, as there is the 90% possibility the buyer is going to have to spend $150-200, to rebuild carb, points, coils, condeners, plug wire, and impeller. this would make it a reliable motor. as long as the lower unit clutch dog is still good.

Re: 1968 6hp johnson

I just bought a 1972 6 HP Evinrude for $325. It just had new points and plugs put in. I thought I paid a bit too much, but I took it out on the lake and it runs really well. I's rather have an old motor that runs well than a newer one that doesn't. I had a 1975 Eska 9.9 hp (Tecumseh engine) previously and it was garbage. I miss the HP, but it ran intermittently.

I recently purchased a 74' Johnson 6hp for $300. I have spent right at another $160 on plugs, gear oil, water pump impeller, points, condenser, carb kit, gas tank, hose, fittings, fuel pump, seafoam and repair manual. I drove 180 miles round trip to pick it up. I have spent hours and hours on it and here so far and the parts will be here tommorow. I still got a lot more work to do and who knows how much more I will spend. I think a "fair market price", for one running and rebuild to some extent would be in the $300-$400 dollar range. Of course when it comes down to it... It's whatever a feller is willing to pay for it... whatever the market will bear. ... Fishermanms

Re: 1968 6hp johnson

Read the above, New boater, if your prospective new motor is in "turnkey" condition, ie "put on the transom nd go".....300 is a fair price. You'll certainly get that much enjoyment out of it!

Re: 1968 6hp johnson

I perfer $100 motors that need work. That's where the enjoyment comes, but that's just me.

These motors sell for up to $450 CDN where I am. I just saw a beautiful late 70's 6 hp go for $375 CDN so $300 US is probably a good price - IMO.
