1961 5/1 2 HORSEPOWER MOTOR FOR SALE - $350
I have got a 1961 5/1 2 horsepower boat motor for sale this motor run's great. it is a Johnson motor and has the short shaft and is great for the river it will push two people in a 14 or 16 john boat with no problem. i do not have a gas tank for it. and i do have a CLEAR title.
-----------------------------------------------------
The pictures attached were also on the post. Anyone else notice that:
1. How do you know the motor "run's great" without a fuel tank to run it?
Answer from poster: It ran great when I ran it on the boat....so there's no reason why it doesn't still run great.
My question: How long ago was that?
Answer: ABOUT four or five years ago.
2. (This is the one that made me even ask as I wanted to see if he was a scammer or just ignorant) That motor was most likely manufactured in 1958 judging by the holiday bronze and cowling with the missing front emblem.
Poster: Oh, I'm sure it's right, you must be mistaken. The title says 1961.
Question: Did you compare the numbers on the title to the numbers on the motor??
Answer: What for?
Not that I was interested in this motor and DEFINITELY NOT FOR $350, but I am just so often amazed by the idiots on craigslist that are looking to scam someone or don't know a thing about what they are trying to sell.
