Rig it up on the Grady and let her rip. It will prove its worth. Also worth a lot more if it can be proven to operate correctly right before the buyers eyes, like magic.. let the money flow.. best of luck with it.

All of the previous suggestions are great. Sell it "as is", give the future owner full disclosure and make sure he signs a waver stating everything you have said here and that it's being sold "as is". Plus, if possible, take it out for a test run so they can see it's working properly. Additionally, if you haven't already, get a used cowl for the engine since you say the original one was smashed. Nothing sells an engine faster than it being "all there". Missing parts, especially the cowl, lower the value. Try Trixie's landing in Bayville, NJ. He has a yard full of old outboard parts, and while he might not be the cheapest around, he's usually a good source for used parts.

I'm in the process of repairing and painting the cowling. I do Autobody for a living so she'll be as good as new. I was more looking for any suggestions as to testing her out.

what Ridge said, bolt it on and take it for a spin. Do you know of anyone repowering a boat that has the same controls? swap it out, run it around for an hour, take it off and put it up for sale

Disclose all info you know up front, and be honest. Put it on the receipt for it that it was a sandy engine, but wasn't submerged, and both you and the buyer sign it and make a copy for each of you. And tell whoever buys it as is no guarantee. That's about all you can do It's sad that you now almost have to be a lawyer to just sell an old engine, but that's the world we now live in.

When I sold the Merc 150 that came on my V-20 I made a video of it starting, idling, running on the boat before I took it off...a picture is worth a 1000 words, a video is worth a million.
