well…. seems a bit pricy…..but if you are confident and at ease with that price go ahead
I have picked up a FD for $25 CDN which did not need much other than the usuals coils points etc… impeller
2 x 9.5hp 1966 one $50 CDN other was $75 CDN
3 x JW for 20-40-50 $ CDN (not a 15hp but still good deals )
a 5.5 and 7..5 both below $75 cdn absolute gems… for trolling
I think late 50s is better than early 50s early 60s mostly run on fuel pump single line
HP is not always proportional to pricing has been my experience in this fun hobby
in conclusion…. wait and shop the craiglist kijiji etc…. if not in a hurry
whatever you buy….do compression testing
