1969 outboard motor prices
 

I still have 1969 to 1971 issues of Outdoor life,-Sports Afield,-Field & Stream magazines,and every so often I'll look through them.

I came upon the prices for motors in 1969,and wow! they sure have gone up since then.Even more interesting were the makers of motors at that time.There were names like
McBride air thrust,montgomery ward sea king,Wizard,etc.
Only three from Yamaha and they were 3.5 to 15hp models.
No Suzuki,Honda,Nissan,

I wish I could have attached the entire page where you could enlarge it to see the pricing of all the motors but it wouldn't work for me,so I just did the big three makers
