I have an antique Waterman outboard and was hoping someone here could give me an estimated value?

Thanks.

EDIT: Sorry Craig, I deleted the topics that were dups, but didn't catch that there wasn't a pix in this one when I did. I copied this from your Flickr acct. If its the wrong pix, I apologize. Thanks John

The motor in the photo looks like a museum piece - is that your motor? If so, then sky's the limit. They're very old, and quite rare. Depending on who's watching eBay at any given time, it may for for $2000 or it may go for $10,000. Simply too volatile a market to give you anything more specific than that.

I have been waiting for almost 2 weeks for you to reply, Aqua. :lol:

Very unique looking, Craig. Does she run? Have you pressure tested the the lower unit?

I imagine to the right collector, she's priceless. I found this old auction (2012) for a different Waterman, look at the estimate. Here is the auction site if you want to see the results - http://www.liveauctioneers.com/item/11180769_boat-outboard-motor-wcast-stand-waterman-porto

Waterman is the guys name. He got the idea while servicing the motor on his motor bike.
He is referred to as the father of the outboard motor. Waterman was the first to use the term "outboard motor".
