Small Outboards

I have the chance to buy either a 6hp Johnson, or 7.5 Sears Gamefisher in excellent condition. (cheap)

How do you think these would push my Classic?

Yesterday, I was at the bottom. I was at the bottom of a valley, in the river. Then my eyes hiked up the mountains to the snow capped peaks. I thought, "When I am at this lowest place I can be, standing in a river, everything is looking up."

I'd sell it but ain't giving it away. I looked at a 16" Super yesterday, nice boat but not $2000 nicer than a Classic.

Has anybody ever seen this?  http://www.brokeboats.com/

This guy, Wayne Weber, has a marine motor shop somewhere in New England, I think.  He provides FREE advice to whoever wants to turn a wrench on their own motor.  He helped me out several years ago, and it looks like the site has gained popularity.  He still provides the free service, but is now offering unlimited "Express Support" where he bumps you up in the queue fo $9 for 30 days. 

Obviously, he's a super nice guy, and even if you don't use his service (free or paid), there's a wealth of information on this site.
