Gonna say not much, maybe $50 for the 2 mercs.

The problem is that most of the guys that thought these were cool motors to have around, have passed on like your step father.

20 years ago, there was a market for them.
Now, I see fully restored motors from the 40's, 50's, and 60's , going for $100.

I wouldn't have thought the blueband was an antique just yet...thinking of buying one as an aux atm lol

anywho, try googling johnsoldmercury site...something like that
it's a vintage merc collector site,
Someone there would want the green one surely

I sold two 50's mercs for $125 each 2 years ago to a guy from canada that winters down here in FL who's hobby is restoring them. it was bitter sweet, because they were my fathers, and I dumped about that much in each... however motors only have value to the right person.

Great guys, now i have an idea what i will sell them for. If i was retired and had a nice house in Florida near the water, i would ticker with these for the fun of it. salt life is the way. lol...Thanks again everyone.

Folks who know how to repair old motor have a lot of them and get them cheap.-----Those who have to pay $100/ hr do not want them !!!

Two look like they are missing parts. $20 each. The 4th is not collectible. $20. The green Merc should bring a couple hundred on EBay, but you have to go thru the trouble of crating it and shipping it.

Advertise the Merc locally for $100 and take anything over $50. Take the others to a scrap yard and take what they give you.

I hate to say scrap them, but truth is that the number of collectors are declining.
