And unlike other commodities, your motor is not gonna bring you a better price the longer it sits.

That motor may not be of value to you and me, but to guys that hunt in an area restricted to 25 hp that have to outrun others to their spot a motor like weedeater's is in high demand. The only options for a new motor that are worth anything is the 25 etec and for the price of that motor you could put a little with it and get a hopped up 3 cylinder yamaha that will run circles around it.
