Reply To: Patina vs. restoration

[Samuel Phelps]

I’m new to these old outboards so my opinion doesn’t hold much weight . I started with boat restoration and that always involved painting and shining things up . Unfortunately,I guess , I’m much better at making things pretty than I am at making them run good so I lean towards the restoration .. But doing them as period correct as you can is important…
Do what you like and that is really the only thing that matters …
