    1958 Evinrude 18hp Fastwin electric start

    What kind of fuel tank do I need with this motor? Also, if anyone has experience with this motor, is it a good one? It is in great shape, and looks awesome for almost 60 years old.

    Johnson 1961 3HP wont speed up

    I got this little motor started after new plugs, new wires and boots, new points and condensers, new coils, new impeller and new oil. With fresh gas and fresh oil in the mix, it started right up.

    Re: '61 Crestliner Arabian Deluxe resto Finally was able to get a puller small enough to get the flywheel off. It was on there good too. I think I will be able to re use these coils though.

    Re: '61 Crestliner Arabian Deluxe resto Started the last stage of the floor tear out. The false floor deck came out fairily easy. Some rot, but not too bad. The balsa core in the center all the way to the front was wet. I am sure glad I found this now. It will be better and stronger than...

    '61 Crestliner Arabian Deluxe resto
