I had to google it to make sure it is the same Oliver. How scarce are they?

They were fairly rare. Sought after for sure.

I'll add the price is $500 for those who can't see the link. Again, it's not mine.

At Florida Flywheelers in 2024 (I think) Oliver was the featured tractor.

One guy had a display of about a dozen different Oliver outboard models.

I think people price them higher than they generally should. The guys who are going to be into Oliver boat motors are probably a very fractional amount of guys who are into tractors themselves.

I know about them antique engine guys collect them but there are a bunch that collects outboards much like chainsaws. Yes a small fragment of people. Here is what i have and i have not keep up on value.

The Oliver Corporation entered the outboard motor market upon acquiring the equipment, tooling, and production rights of Chris Craft Outboard Motors. The first Oliver models where produced in 1955. The Oliver motors were also sold in 1958 through Western Auto Stores as Wizard Outboard Motors. In that year, Oliver offered a 6 HP, two 16 HPs, and one 35 HP model. The 35 HP Olympus model with electric start was introduced in 1957 and continued as the flagship model, even being offered in 1959 as a factory twin outboard setup with counter-rotating propellers. Production moved from the US to England in 1960, finally ending in 1961.

If that was close to home I would pick that up in a heartbeat. That sure would look nice on display in your Oliver shed!
