    I’m in process of changing out my boat to a 58 Johnson 10hp. I just think it’s the best fit for me. I struggle between the 10hp and 18hp in terms of power to push heavy loads with speed. I like the tens size in terms of ease to work on and rope over compared to the eighteen.
    I like the 57 and 58 styling the best. I have mine converted to fuel pump and like the smaller gear case. Check the hinges on the hood to make sure they aren’t cracked when you get another. The hoods can be costly to buy in good shape. There are lots of donor motors out there though just involves some searching.
    All the style and class of the 50’s to turn heads wherever you go
