While $2500 does sound high, $1000 sounds low for that engine. I spent a good bit of time in the past few months looking at used engines, bought a 1990 Johnson 200 GT in very good condition for $1800. I also found that the NADA prices shown are pretty consistently low, I think those may reflect what you'd get when selling to a dealer. I'd bet that engines winds up selling for $1500 to $1700, dependintg on it's condition.
