What is something like this worth? It has the optional bilge pump built into the engine. A friend of his had it in a barn and called him to just come get it.

There are some advanced collectors of outboard motors who specialize in near mint motors. Or to someone restoring a boat, this is a great addition (and time saver). Try posting an ad at AOMCI.org

He put it on Craigslist once no response. He put it on this week and the phone rang off the hook. He had 3 people there wanting it at the same time. Unfortunately the first guy just wanted a motor. The other two collected motors. He sold to the first guy for $250 because he was first.

By the way I was 35 miles away or would have told him to sell to a collector. It was a truly beautiful motor in fantastic running condition.
