After looking for 2 months I finally found a good deal on a motor for my 65 Lone Star Jon Boat Found it on market place for $100.00 !
1967 Evenrude 9.5 Sport Twin. Looks great. Taking it down to Whitney tomorrow to my boat mechanic to let him go thru it . Carbs water pump ect .
Now to get it titled or not ? It ought to move my 12 ft well .
May your wiener schnitzel always stay above your lederhosein.

I had a Sport twin I ran for years! Very dependable. And easy to work on. Plus, they really wind up the RPMs. Ran it on 14 footers most of the time. Both semi-V and flat bottoms.

I wouldn't bother with a title. I had a '61 Johnson twin on my 14 tinny, and it would go about 14 with just me aboard. Those old OMC engines go forever, if they never get hot.

I bought a 1988 9.9 back before Ceasar made the decree that all motors needed a title.
Never been ask yet to show a title, so I won't get one until I do.
Just one more cast!

This looks like a great place to include myself to the discussion:
Me:
Newbie to Wisconsin, I bought property with abandoned:
Starcraft 14' Sea Nymph on a trailer (In the back 40 of my property purchase but within the metes & bounds of the property description).
15hp Sears Gamefisher 2-cyl 2-stroke engine
Trailer for the above
Applied for (and received) updated vessel stickers until 2025 for a paltry sum, it's now mine.
The Gamefisher Sears/ Force engine is currently my biggest source of concern, as it has been sitting for some years (+5 and counting) and will needs some work / verification.
(SN's and product info available via PM) .
