Johnson Sea Horse

About 10 years ago I came across a 5 1/2 hp Johnson Sea Horse. Not sure how old it is. I think it’s late 50’s or early 60’s. Model number is CD 15. Don’t know if it runs or not. Can anyone give me a ballpark figure of what it might be worth? It’s in decent looking shape. Thanks

I would suggest going the Google route. I have 2 old motor like that and I’m currently trying evaluate their value. One is a 1954 3hp Johnson Sea Horse and the other is a 1974 4hp Sea Horse.

I had to do a lot of digging through a ton of websites to try and find a value for my motors. Still not too sure I have an accurate number in my head…

I just found this out of date post on the internet, not sure if he got his asking price or not.

A buddy picked one up at a yard sale a few years back for $75.

It depends on how good they run and what they look like. Really good condition with a few scratches and low hours is maybe $350 too $400 for a 5 horse. I got a buddy that bought a 1 1/2 horse Evie thats next to mint and paid $500 for it a couple months ago, once a year to canada for 2 weeks for 20 years. It sat in a garage for the last 20 years after that, I seen it and it looks its off the showroom floor, the owners took very good care of it while they used it. The motors above anywhere from $150 if it runs good and well used too $350 with realitively low hours and scracthes. They were good motors and dependable. Its still easy to get parts for them, the smaller ones make good canoe motors.

Maybe $50 if it isn’t fixed up and running well.

I had a 1958 Evinrude Fisherman 5.5. It is pretty much the same motor you have there with a different color paint on it. If you have the 2 hose tank and the motor is in good running order you might get $350 out of it tops. I would expect more like 250 if you don’t want to hold onto it long. Those are good motors and are very easy to work on yourself.
