[QUOTE="Pappy, post: 411261, member: 3278"] [size=5]Jethro - The Fastwin (18hp) series of engines are a blast to run. They are powerful, fast, and reliable as an anvil. The 1957 Johnson version is one that I grew up with. I purchased an identical engine back in the late 80's/early 90's that is close to being cosmetically perfect. Love to run that engine! Never run it on less than 24:1 ! Here's a shot of mine on a 15'6" Gheenoe Classic. Pushed it right at 27mph.
