IMHO that is a bit much to invest in a motor that is 22 years old.Here's an example of a 75 hp evinrude with PTT 1981 model from the NADA guide.<br /><br /> Model: E75TRLCI <br /> Motor Type: Gasoline <br /> Volts (Electric Motors): <br /> Thrust (Electric Motors): <br /> Horsepower: 75 <br /> Cylinders: 3 <br /> Start Type: Electric <br /> Dry Weight: 250 <br /> Power Tilt and Trim: Yes <br /> Low Retail: $270 <br /> Average Retail: $320

$1895, NO... Maybe $895 if it's in REALLY good shape...

Re: 1981 evinrude 70 hp

No Trim & Tilt!... Find another one... You'll need T&T on that size motor...

jvolpe29,<br /><br />Check this one out, for comparison.<br /><br /> http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=26454&item=1876456643&rd=1 <br /><br />ob,<br /><br />Sometimes I wonder about NADA. Try to find a 70 hp. Rude-running for $275.00.<br />

I agree that NADA is simply a rough guideline and that actual prices depending on region and overall condition will vary,however $1500 is quite a descrepancy and if you were to ever sell or obtain a loan against your purchase you'll be looking at a similar appraisal square in the face.

Guys THANKS !! I almost jumped the gun and made a mistake, I looked at some other stuff the seller had for sale and most of his stuff is way over priced, this being my first motor bigger than an evin 9.9 I want to make sure I make no mistakes..guess I need the T&T for sure huh? I wish I knew where to find NADA priced motors, I couldnt be so lucky !! I did want the motor it matched my kicker ! Guess I will keep looking
