Honda 7.5hp - how much?

[jonathankent]

I have got an old late 70s early 80s Honda 7.5hp 4-stroke outboard from someone at work. Now I've had a chance to use it and make sure it is all OK I have to pay for it. How much would you think it is worth? Its in fairly good condition inside, no rust etc, but the outside could do with a little TLC. I have bought new fuel connectors & tank and had it serviced and a replacement anode fitted. So with all that in mind, what is likely to be a reasonable price to pay?

They seem to go for around £300 on flea bay, but due to their ages, id be inclided to pay more like £200

BF75?

If so and it's flywheel is either the cast one or if the pressed steel one then rust free - rust pushes the magnets in against the magneto armature - then I would say that £225 - £250 is tops.

Great little motor though. I had one for years and it motored us across the Channel, down to St Malo and through the Brittany Canals and up to the Gulf of Morbihan plus the return trip in a flat calm but wet summer in the 80s.
