Hi folks.
I looking at changing my Suzuki dt2 for something a bit more powerful. Which of the three Johnson outboards , 3 , 3.3 or 4 HP would be the best option regarding power to weight ratio. ?? And reliability

An older 4 might be the best.----And easier to get parts for.

Thank you for your reply. I heard it's hard to get parts for the 3s ok.

There are different models of 3 HP and yes some of the newer ones might be limited production.----Harder to find parts.

A 1967 model 3 HP Johnson or Evinrude is a good choice.----Very little plastic on them ----Tank on top or run with fuel pump and 5 gallon tank.
