SELOC or CLYMER? for '57 Fastwin 18

[shinola]

I need a shop manual for the 1957 18hp Fastwin. Quick Ebay searches show both available and in the ~$40 range. What would the board recommend?

Neither . Get an OEM manual from Outboardbooks.com

If you want to see what the Seloc manual is like you can read it on the Boatinfo website ( sorry not allowed to post a link)
