Re: Considering my first project

[dougs-outboards]

I might suggest maybe for a starting point, maybe look for something a little more modern on CL like an Ev or JW series 3hp or 5.5, or something with the more common coils etc. It all depends on if you like the older models, or slightly newer versions, which I am partial to. Parts are abundant and the motor is easy to work on and learn. You should be able to pick one up for $50-$150.

Whatever you do, have fun at it!

Just my 1.5 cents worth…
