Ok, here we go.....Purchased a boat a few weeks ago, it has a 1968 65hp evinrude on it. Upon tearing it down there are a ton of things broken and the parts and my own labor are going to end up costing me more then a used Outboard from a dealer.....so......here is my question. I searched thru old posts, but only found max's for hp, not minimum's.....Since the original motor is a 1968 65, what would be comparable? I found a 1991 40hp Johnson that is at my local dealer with a one year warranty. The boat is missing the plate so I can't see what the "real" max is and the boat company is no longer in business. It is an 18' West Wind Tri-hull. I am not looking to go skiiing, flying across the bay etc, just something to get me out to my fishing hole and back. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
