St Louis, MO area still looking for good running outboard

[Billy Bob]

Hey Gang<br /><br />The subject line about tells it all. Sort of. <br />Guess I'd want a 25-75 hp motor, pre-85. OK, I'll fess up. I'm only looking for pre-85 just because of the price factor. If you have a later model on the cheap, I'll consider it.<br /><br />thanks<br />Billy Bob

I have a 1957(8) Johnson 35hp short shaft that I will let go of for $400.00. I'm only three hours away in Indiana. Right across the border. I completely went through this engine four years ago and it still runs great. I commercial fished the Ohio and broke my wrist last September. Didn't heal right and I could no longer pull start it. Got a '91 25hp johnny. Don't like it as much as my old gal but it is elec. start.

Fireman<br /><br />Thanks for the reply. Not sure that I wanted to go as far back as the 50's. Let me think it over.<br /><br />Billy Bob

Hey Rick<br /><br />What is the model number of this motor? Also, just checking price guide for 1988 25's and 30's. Their top model 25 had an average retail of about $320 and the top model 30 had an average retail of about $390. I realize that it is only a guide but wondered how you came to a price on yours? BTW, couldn't find a 28hp for '88, was that a tyop? <br /><br />Billy Bob
