Thanks for this post --- It is amazing at the leaps and bounds that outboard motors have come
Anyone in louisiana into antique outboards? I was give some when my grandfather passed away and I'm not really into fiximg and using or fixing and selling. I juat want to sell them as they are. If any of you are interested in them I would like to offer them to you first.
The most unique one I have is a muncie, neptune. It is a 15b4, puts it in the late 40's I believe. It is frozen, may be serious, but i havent realy investigated.
The next one I have is a 1948 scott-attwater model 481. It is in better condition. The paint and metal are rusted but it spins and holds fuel. I could probably get it running if i dont sell it. Didnt take pics of it yet.
Another is a Sears 5hp outboard. I remember it running when I was a teen. It spins and probably would be the easiest to get running out of the three.
I also have a mercury m200 that i have no clue if it ever ran or not. Probably just for parts . No pics of that but can take some.
Let me know what you guys think or even if you know what they are worth. I am clueless on that the value they have , I assume not much unless you just love them.

Yea. I'm by no means old but I appreciate stuff lile this. To think that todays weedeaters have almost as much power as these and they pushed boats around for years. If I had time and money i would try to do something with them. I just want them to go to some one who appreciates them too, even if it is just to decorate a man cave.
Ill put them up on the main classified and craigslist this week.
