1987 8hp Mercury.<br /><br />It was rebuilt fore years ago, but I have no way of proving it.<br /><br />I just had the lover unit resealed and has a new tiller put on, I can prove that.<br /><br />Its a 15inch short shaft. it has the normall scrashs, its far from new looking.<br /><br />What do you think its worth?

One more thing, I don't want to **** off the mods.<br /><br />Its NOT for sale, so don't ask. I only want to know whats its worth.

$400-$500 in spring.<br /><br />$700 if it was long shaft.<br /><br />If you sell on ebay, price will be kept lower because of shipping cost.

Trent,<br /><br />NADA.com does not mean jack ****, they are okay with something under five years old, but anything older then that is bull****.<br /><br />Roscoe<br /><br />Where do you suggest I try to sell it?

Sorry you did not like my post. NADA is only a guide. Get what you can.

hahaha- if it's not yours you can get 3 to 5 for it :)<br /><br />I guess it's worth whatever someone will pay for it. The only way to find out is look around in want ads and see what it's going for. A search on closed eBay auctions will give you a rough idea...

Trent,<br />I did not disslike your post, I just don't think nada means much when I comes to anything over a few years old.<br /><br />Nada will say that a 1980's 18foot boston whaler outrage is worth like 1,000. When in the real wourld they sell for 7-15grand.<br /><br />Yes,<br />Its my motor.
