I would low ball the guy and work from there...... not running? are there controls with it? You could buy it and part it out if needed and make a few bucks....... or you could fix it. Not winterizing an outboard .....if it was stored in that position it should not have freeze damage.

it might be a diamond in the rough..... check the compression..... they were notorious for burning one piston.

I would get more info from the guy, But like said It's worth more than the price in Parts. If you cannot get it running take it apart and ebay everything. I bet you can make some good money on it....JMO

As said, parting it out will recoup your investment.

That looks like a older 70hp with out power tilt & trim. More than likely you could get it to run on the cheap. However I myself would not go over 100 for that motor. Here by St louis I bought a1983- 70hp johnson with tilt & trim for 200. It needed a starter, which I had, cleaned the carbs and it runs like a bat out of hell. If you take your time you can usually come up with a good deal on craigslist.
