whats a realistic asking price

I like the 130/140 EVINRUDE and JOHNSON's myself. The big V-4's do the job just fine, and get decent milage. Your old 175 was a known fuel pig, so I bet you would see a fuel savings going to one as well. Weight is about the same, and if you get one before 95 the wiring harness and cables will all hook right up.

She loved her fuel and drank plenty of it. i dont know what it was burning MPG wise but it was pretty pathetic. Hell if i took a season off of fishing 4+ days a week i could buy a nice used motor with what money i didnt put in the gas tank

I always thought that people never take a good running engine off a boat for no reason, with a few exceptions for those going to fourstrokes. You might be better off finding a boat, motor and trailer combo for sale with the engine you want and taking the engine off and selling the rest. You can get the whole rig for the same or a little more or even a little less than just an engine a lot of times. Might be a chance to switch up to a better/newer trailer too.

I had an '84 140 Rude and was amazed at how long a 25 gal tank of gas lasted!!...On a heavy V-hulled 17' Thunderbird...fished, skied and all w/that thing...
