Restoration & Repair Services

At John and Marsha's, we have four services we offer for your Nifty Fifties or Swingin' Sixties outboard motor.

Those are... 

The Full Restoration      $3,000.00

Squeaky clean like the day she was new, your motor's going to get the works! When we receive it, we will give it a full evaluation to ensure we're starting with a good candidate. We check for compression, proper shifting, gauss readings of the flywheel, lubricate the recoil starter, clean and set the points for proper spark, and make sure the coils have a some life left. When we're ready, a little fuel is shot down the carb. We want to hear your motor growl: that sign it gives us that it wants to live again. Now we completely dissassemble the engine, rebuild the magneto, rebuild the carb, reseal the gearcase, replace fuel lines and spark plug wires, prime, paint, and apply new decals. She's as close to new as she can get, and truth be known, the belle of the ball! Or at least your lake or river...

The Mechanical      $2,000.00

We have a friend that's big into patina. He has an older Evinrude that's built up a lot of character in the past 70 years, and he likes it that way. So we offer Mechanical Restorations for those who want the battle tested look but want restored performance. It's everything listed in the Full Restoration minus the paint and decals. Your motor will look like Hemingway once used it.

The Cosmetic     $1,200.00

Your motor's trip to the beauty spa! It's time on the water is over and it's time to get it ready for retirement in that special, honored place in your home or your lake retreat. After a good scrubbing, we'll make sure all fluids and grease are removed, sand it smooth and paint and decal the motor. Get your display and lighting ready!
