I've been told I only get to keep one, both run great right now. Which one would you guys pick to keep?<br />1973 35HP Chrysler<br />1975 35HP Evinrude Lark
Even I would keep the Evinrude, for the simple reason of the parts issue and also the reliability issue, the last time I was simply stating that Chrysler outboards, when properly maintained would last as long as any. I am sorry if I offended you DJ, It was not my intention.
There has never been a Chrysler last long enough hour-wise to confirm this....<br />Stick with the 'Rude unless you have a great desire to paddle....it WILL quit, it's just the fact you are one of the lucky few that it hasn't left you already.
Uhhh, guys, there's no such animal as a '75 Evinrude 35hp Lark. The only 35hp Larks came out in between 1957 and 1959. The Lark name was also used on some 40 horses in the 1960s and on a 50hp looper twin in the early 1970s....<br /><br />If the motor is indeed a 35hp Lark, then it's MUCH older than 1975...<br /><br />- Scott
