[QUOTE="Whidbeyboater, post: 512737, member: 35394"] I have an early 80s pre VRO Johnson 60 that came with the boat. I plan on running that to start. Might stick with it if it runs well and proves to be reliable. Otherwise I will be looking for a good deal on a 50 - 60 hp 4 stroke. I will be covering up the floor and decks with marine vinyl here is a link to what I have.
