- In this video, we review what Brock ended up purchasing from Penn's Old Outboards, in the last video (Episode 1). Stick around to see what motors Brock picked and get expert review from Retro Grade's special guest for the day, our very own Budget Marine Equipment Appraiser.
Matt still has a TON of stuff left, we barely scratched the surface! For anyone interested in Penn's Old Outboards, the website is easy to remember!

Nice, these motors represent mechanical music, exquisite two-stroke aroma, history and bliss 👍🏻
YES!!! "Mechanical Music" is the best way to describe running them. All of these motors provide a level of fun, an experience, and a feeling that newer motors simply cannot. You either get it or you don't :)
Agreed
I just bought out a guy’s collection, 40+ antique outboards. I am glad that you posted this video so I can start to see what some of them may be worth.
Nice! Pricing is all subjective with these things. I've paid anywhere from 25 bucks to several hundred dollars for an outboard, depending on condition and how badly I wanted it. I'm mostly focused on cosmetic condition with them, so long as they turn over. Nice original paint is a big plus. Pricing varies pretty well model to model.
Area is also key - I don't see as many down around me in Kentucky, so I may be willing to pay more. But places like Michigan, for instance, have them all over the place it seems.
@@retro_gradeI agree, I live in southwest Michigan, and some of the outboards I have are pretty common around here. Others I have never heard of or seen before.
Jeffrey seems smart. I like Jeffrey. Be more like Jeffrey. 👍🏻😂
While we do have a tight (non existing) budget, we still make sure to seek out only the best 👍
I'll film on a free day for a slim jim and a purple drink
What kind of filming are we talking about Michael?
@retro_grade a guy named James told me about all sorts of neat film ideas i think would fit in great
👍👍
Thanks!
Why list them for sale if you “aren’t willing to part with” some of them?
Yeah, I mean I get having some sentimental value on some things and hanging onto them, I respect that. But there were definitely quite a few items there that he was hanging on to also. We were particularly disappointed in the fact that many of the larger motors we were interested in (such as that Johnson 35 HP and the Evinrude 35) weren't for sale. We're always potentially interested in nice original (or nicely restored) motors that we can bolt onto a runabout and run. And none of the ones which were for sale had a decent enough finish to really fit any of the boats that we have.
I think the best way to say it, is that he's listing the "stockpiles" of motors and parts for sale (the business), while keeping a few nicer ones he's attached to for his personal collection, which would be a more manageable size.
If you go on his website, he was listing out lots of motors weekly, with some having decently cheap prices on them. All of those were for sale obviously.
“Nobody’s watches this channel…”
Hey I watch this channel!
Sometimes…..
On occasion….
If the content looks interesting
😂 well, at least now we now that somebody does! Here we were figuring it was just bots or something......
In all seriousness, THANK YOU for watching. When we make those statements, it's us poking fun at ourselves, as well as comparing to larger channels that are striking it much bigger. We're trying to figure out how to shoot straight up to stardom like those guys (or well, how to grow at all).
What type of our content are you watching? Bikes, boats? What type of videos do you want to see more of? "How-To's", Riding/Driving, Pulling Boats with Motorcycles?
@@retro_grade I love the sarcasm. I'm mostly into the old bikes, but really anything old with a motor in it is up my alley. Luckily the old outboard collecting bug hasn't bit me yet because I'm out of room in the garage.
