Not running....not much.
I go to AOMCI gatherings and there are always a few cubs around. Everyone seems to have one, and it's fun to fire them up. Non-running ones seem to sell at those gatherings for about $100. Everyone who wants one already has one.
They're really cool to shine up like mirrors and have in running condition, just for laughs and giggles. As for pushing a boat...they're not much for that. You can row faster...truly.
But, they sure are cute. Someday I'm going to buy one at one of those shows and spend a month or two polishing the aluminum to a mirror finish and get the thing in running condition. Maybe I'll put a shield around the prop and use it in place of a jacuzzi in my hot tub.
