Hi, My grandfather just gave me his old jon boat, and it had an early 1960's Elgin 7.5 HP on it. I thought this engine would be fine, but discovered it was a piece of junk after the first few runs. It is not worth fixing since parts are so hard to find. I was wondering if it is possible to find a mid 1950s-early 1960s Johnson or Evinrude 10 HP motor for under $200? Where would i look for one of these engines? Thanks<br />Brent

Ebay is often a good place to try. Also, look in the local "Keels and Wheels", or classifieds of your local paper for bargains. And garage sales in tthe coastal towns.
