    go for a 3hp … 2 cyl engine is better than a 1 cyl engine. jmho JW are great little motors and would probably get you back to shore if you have 1 cyl down !

    I have had that happen and she got me back to the dock 🙂

    I later checked and I had not snugged down one of the points and it loosen and was running on one cylinder. I corrected that mistaken and she runs like a dream. If that would have been a single cylinder, well……..row row row your boat not so gently up the stream…..lol

    But I have to admit the 1970s and early 80’s are good little motors.

    Weight of the Evinrude/Johnson 3hp is about 37 pounds.

    Weight of the Evinrude/Johnson 2hp is ???? (Anybody know?)
