My first post here, so bear with me. Found an older Chriscraft with a 1960 Evinrude 18 Fastwin. Hasn't been started since '99 but kept in basement. A fresh water motor that looks really nice, but haven't had cover off yet and am going to meet the owner and try and start it tomorrow. I mentioned that the unknown condition of the motor makes the price negotiable for the boat and motor. I guess I am wondering what the value of the motor is, as is. If it runs of course the value would go up and it probably will as it has had good maintenance and care according to the owner. What can a guy expect to pay for an impeller (waterpump), coils and basic tune up? He has the boat and motor and trailer at $1200. I'm thinking $800 with the unknowns. What do you think?
