The Sabbs are great engines, very reliable and quiet thanks to their super
big flywhell.
They are easy to fix, easy to rebuild and the company as dealers in the US
or will ship parts.
I would pay up to $ 1,000.00 for a running 10 HP especially if it comes with
the var. pitch prop and shaft.
My only reservation is the HP, 10 HP is a little small for that very heavy
Devlin design. Those old engines have great torque at low rpm but still, I
would prefer to see a 20 in there.
Again: it's a great engine.

you mean you are looking at a grossly heavy, pitifully underpowered
engine
made
in some garage in Norway

Sabbs are wonderfully suited for what they do best in a displacement hull.
They will run forever with a minimum of care. They are as dependable as
it
gets. Sabb makes starter kits for them, but they can always be
hand-cranked
and will start at just about any temperature.

Offer the guy $1000.00 bucks and be overjoyed if he takes it. If you are
looking to power a displacment hull and understand the benefits of
variable
pitch, then this would be a gift.

Good Luck !
