I know of a brand new, in the box, Evinrude white Etec 90 20" length, purchased new. leftover, from an Evinrude Dealer about 6 months after Evinrude stopped production. Although never used, the engine still has about a year's original warranty left on it. As we all know, this was a very popular engine for the classic 16' and 17' Whalers because of it's 320# weight.
Does anybody here know if this engine still has its original value? Are these engines still in demand by Evinrude loyalists for a classic Whaler re-power, or has the interest in them now passed? At one time, the 90 was Evinrude's best seller.
I am sure the owner (not me!) would sell the engine for the purchase price paid.

Selling dealers stopped servicing them just out of fear and lazyness so the engine is not as attractive to buyers.
Personally I love mine. If I were to need a 90hp right now I would buy it in a second.
They retailed for 8,500-9,000 pre-covid.
