Check out this Ebay listing- I’m raising the BS flag

[green-thumbs]

Ebay apparently finds the ad acceptable, which may say all that
needs to be said about ebay. Let us keep in mind that our words should always be soft and sweet for we never know which ones we shall have to eat.

Also very well said, but it will never stop me, telling the truth about someone’s stupid fantasy, if you make such a creation for your own fun, f.e. for your own mancave, okay, but you can’t push a price up with false info
and there are always boneheads around with questions ;
"I didn’t know that John Deere made outboards"
btw. … an opinion is free.
this is mine, end of story and not the start of WWlll, not worth it

I was advised once to not try to teach a pig to whistle…it wastes your time and irritates the pig
Not worth raising your blood pressure over either.
Good to hear you are still on sunny side of the sod.

EBay is nothing more than a service. People can sell
anything legal for any amount they choose. “Free
Enterprise”. This service seems to be very popular
and doing well. Before there was regular trash pickup
you burned what you could and from time to time
you made a trip to the dump. You would see all kinds
of good stuff people just didn’t want anymore. Rotary
lawnmowers were just coming out when I was building
my homemade go carts. People were throwing away
perfectly good reel type mowers. You could take
anything you wanted and that is where I got my cart
motors. This Champion Hot Rod was listed some
time ago for $25.00 no reserve. I contacted the guy
to see if he knew what he had. He had no idea.
Somebody threw it on the aluminum scrap pile at
work just to get rid of it. He took it home and listed
it hoping to make a few bucks. I can’t image how many
outboards, that would have been just scraped years
ago, today end up on eBay. Like a knife it is just a
tool. Use the right one properly and it will cut your
meat. If you don’t you could loose a finger.

A "Boat House Repair" is one that done without having tools or the skills to do it properly.

I have a truckload of stuff to get rid of before I move to Michigan . . . 😥

Alter Scrap gets old outboards turned in all the time and shredded. Their policy "nothing leaves the yard until shredded"

quote Mini Motors:

Maybe they thought the John Deere motif might make it run better. “Nothing runs like a Deere”.

Well that settles it then. I’m going out to buy some green and yellow paint and some decals

John Deere outboards and mowers are out there but they’re not worth getting your knickers in a knot over if they aren’t real.
