Now I have 3, an 85 horse and a 140 horse Evinrude, also a guy just gave me a really nice 115 hp Mercury 115 “tower of power” . Yes,... gave me. Though obsolete,these 2-cycle engines are mechanically sound and trustworthy.

I’ve found another 30’ r only this time it’s a tri-toon., minus an engine. For doing a lot no range river cruise (approx 300 mile 1way) I’m wondering which power would best be suited between the 115 merc or the 140 Evinrude.
I really doubt one would be more economical than the other. But seeing I’m not paying forvengines there’s lots of room on the card for fuel.

Is that 3 hp one of those delightful Evinrude Lightwins from the early
1950s?
