Re: Recommended outboard for a Richline S-12

I love seeing the pictures of Your boats! and they are an inspiration to get mine restored. Being a novice i’ll stick with the Johnnyrudes for now. For some reason we don’t see to have many vintage merc’s in our area. I did come across a 1959 18 hp evinrude I have been able to come up with the funds to buy it yet, since my boat is a 1960 or I think it is and it’s blue and white like the evinrude of that era I’d like to put one of those on it. My boat is going to need a full strip and pain because the pain is in rough shape, the paint is crackled throughout the whole boat. It’s been a project ive been wanting to work on for a few years it’s just tough working 6 days a week and having 2 teenagers involved in 3 sports. I used to race Vintage snowmobiles but after 15 years of doing that I "retired" after I lived my dream of racing at the world championship at Eagle River. So I will be on here and will become more active on tinboats looking for retor tips. I appreciate the warm welcome!!
