Had a friend give us a 1963 Johnson 3hp- but we want to pay him a fair price.
What do you guys think its worth in good running condition?

What is it's value? Not much!
but.....mine is a 60 or 61 Johnson 3hp. It belonged to my daddy. He bought it new when he retired. Money couldn't buy it!
Yours look in much better condition.
I was told some folks use them on big boats to push it slow for night gigging.
Hope someone is interested.
Would you throw in the hat to boot?

Is it running Barry? If so, I would guess about $200. Check Ebay and see.

$ 200 to $500 , duck hunters love these, especially before the go-devil got here.
