Reply To: 2 hp Johnson or Evinrude — should I get one?

Yes, the 3 would be a better motor, and I’ve been working on one lately to get it going. But I began to consider a 2 h.p. when I saw how light they are compared to the 3 h.p. I also saw a video of someone using one with a boat very much like mine, mounted on the side. I just did get one that became available here–a 1982 model. If it doesn’t work out, I’m pretty sure I can sell it. As someone observed here, they seem to fetch a premium, especially in running condition.
