Reply To: Golden Javelin dilemma

Yes, you would need the correct hood and brackets. You could see if you could locate those first and see what the cost would be before deciding on how to proceed. Might be hard to find a cowl for sale by itself – you might be able to find a Javelin parts motor somewhere. I had a chance last year to pick up a Javelin that had a stuck powerhead and bad gearcase and decided to pass on it, but wish now I’d bought it just for the cowl and other parts.

It won’t cost anything to look around for the parts you need and knowing there’s a Javelin under all that blue paint, I’d be all over it!
