Way cool...I'm looking for a 57 or 58 Johnson 35hp to match the E-rude BigTwin on the Texas Maid...keep your able eyes open for me up there. Pix attached.
I just picked up and sold a one owner 1958 35 hp Big Twin. cleanest one I have ever seen that was not restored. Same guy had a 1957 7.5 hp bought new also. Kept indoors their whole life.
the plans called for a backrest, but I didn't put one in. I like being able to turn around and get to everything a bit better. I might move the wheel to the front, but have not decided.
