rjoynt.. give some consideration to how you intend to use the boat? How comfortable are you with the oldest motors? maintance , repairs, parts etc” AND how important is having a period correct rig to you?
Depending on how you answer and If your intended use is frequent family boat outings, club cruises etc… maybe a 1950’s vintage OMC would be the best choice.

Joe, I am more familiar with the 50’s motors, but I think that this boat requires an appropriate motor. No problem with parts and support. That’s one of the great things of belonging to the Club. I’m in the Western Reserve Chapter; the treasurer for many years. We have many knowledgeable members and plenty of parts.
Thanks for your concern.
(and I may at one point put on my favorite 10hp Evinrude…)
