Would this 200 HP West Bend be too much power for my little Alumacraft? 😉

And the Mercury has "Firebolt Ignition!" Those are special motors.

Seller says, "I inherited these and don’t know much about them."

I saw that too. I like West Bends and if the price was attractive I might go for it.

I bet you could get both for $200. That would be quite fair, if, in fact, they ran last year. The 20 is neat. If it were near me, I’d buy it myself. Thank God it’s not near me.

Long live American manufacturing!

According to Carl Kiekhaefer horse power depends on RPM – so at 20,000 RPM . . . 😆

How well do you handle disappointing news? 😀

Well "200" is on the hood. Must be true! But if it is 20 HP i wonder how it would be up against say ahhhhhhh Martin 20. Just wondering.
