Outboard choice?
I am currently refitting a crusader 16.
Plan was to fit a mariner 90 3 cylinder. A few people have said that's it's a tad to big. So I also have a Johnson vro 70.
Which would be better. ??
Also looking to sell on so don't want something with over powered. Also don't want something unreliable ??
