I’m thinking of buying a 1964 Evinrude twin duck motor but really need to know what it’s worth before I make an offer. Can anyone help me out on this?

I never paid more than 50$ CDN for all mine (4) all freshwater motors


mke certain it is not seized if so bargain it down and take a chance on loosening it up later no big loss


but it all depends ...on you and the seller

great little kickers easy to work on lots of documentation and utubes on it

you may need coils if originals are cracked and an impeller ( 2x20$) .. the rest may be mostly ok

do a good carb clean

Thanks Crosbyman. The seller has been told that the motor could be worth up to $700 USD. Don’t get me wrong, it’s in good shape to be that old and I really like it and would love to have it, but I knew that was too high a price. I was thinking $150 - $200 USD would I be giving too much?

Here in mn, that motor fully tuned and cosmetically excellent would perhaps bring $600. Looking fairly beat as it does, $350ish after full servicing. If it pulls over w/compression, and has been sitting in the shed for years, $150 would be max.. Those prices are that high because ducktwins are fairly rare, and there is a market for ‘em.. especially with excellent graphics.
That said, if you really want a ducktwin, and it has good compression.. they are fine motors when serviced, but you could likely find a regular lightwin for much less $..

Last 3 HP I picked up was part of a deal of 4 motors and 3 HP was a 1964.------About $100 each.-----And the 3 HP had the new ignition already so was really only $25 invested in that one.-------$700 must be a joke unless there was sentimental value.----Or an auction where the money went to charity.------Nothing special other than a standard 3 HP with camo paint !!

Thanks for all the advice. I was thinking that was way too high myself. I like the motor but I did have a limit in mind. Now that I know, a lot of negotiating will take place.
