Cannot really answer that without inspecting it and more info on the motor, what part of the country, etc... Cosmetics is key!

I will try to get pictures of the engines up I'm located in ny the jubilee is in poor condition the twin runs good needs new carb float and cowling is beat up engine is good but the lark has excellent paint left for the age all knobs cowl clips everythings original the pull start rubber handle is cracked like they often do and wiring needs redone other than that its good to great condition that's the one I'm realy wondering about I payed oprox 200 for the twin with controls and the whole 9 yards the rest were inherits. ill post decent pics to get a decent opinion I wouldn't expect more than a couple hundred bucks retail also has simplex controls. were these controls of the same era or just common controls people used for multiple engines?

It is very hard to give a value, but I will try. Price changes between geographic areas, demand, etc...

The cosmetics seem ok. The front cowl door is there, which is sometimes missing. Seems to have all of its medallions. That is good.

The long shaft will put some off, as not many could use it. You will have to find that special guy with a long shaft transom on his boat.

In my area, a motor like that I would try to pay $100 to $150 for. I normally put about $100 to $150 in parts into them, then once fully mechanically restored I sometimes get about $350 for them. All generally speaking. That is without the controls and such that you have. They are valuable in their own right.

yeah I have evinrude simplex controls so after a rewire and tune and factory matched paint job it would be worth the 400 u think with the controls and extra prop I have laying around?

With full paint as well? I wouldn't do a full resto for only 400, but that is just me.
