Re: Looking for value on 1955 Evinrude Aquasonic Fleetwin 7.5 here
I wouldn't worry about insuring it. That's a good little motor and will probably last for many years and is in really nice shape. As far as value, however, it is not worth as much as you would think. OMC sold a lot of those motors and like almost all of the '50s OMC motors, they were built to last a lifetime. So, there are a lot of them still around and since they're not rare, they aren't worth a lot. I would say even in the condition your motor is in, it would be hard to get more than $750 for it, and you'd probably get far less unless you're willing to wait a long time. As much as a new outboard costs these days and as good of a motor as you have, it's really WORTH more than that to me. But you wouldn't get much for it.
I for one enjoyed the pics and hope you enjoy the motor for many years to come. BTW, the coils on your motor, if original, are likely cracked and unreliable at best. The first thing I would do is pull the flywheel with the proper tool and replace the ignition coils. There are instructions for doing all that needs to be done to it in the "top secret" thread at the top of this forum. A water pump impeller, new alcohol resistant fuel lines, and a carb rebuild with new plastic float are typical requirements for a long unused motor. I'd also replace the crankshaft carbon seal when you pull the powerhead to drop the lower unit. Very easy and cheap to do.
Good luck,
JBJ

^^^^spot on but still wanted to say nice to see the pics ty
I just came across an evinrude 1955 fleetwin 7.5. Trying to get her up and running. This is my first outboard and first post but I did some research and took her apart and inspected as much as I can and I think the coils need to be replaced but I can't get the fly wheel off. Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated. I'm on a mission to get this baby working! more
