Learning to sail
I'm looking at buying a 1972 Ericson 27 with a dead outboard. This is apparently a model that came with a factory-installed outboard, but the current dead outboard is not the original one.
What type of outboard should I get to replace it with?
Most importantly, how much HP do I need? But also, are there any sizing issues I need to be aware of? I know that I probably need a long shaft motor, but how do I make sure the new outboard will fit in the existing transom gap?
I've attached some pictures of the current dead outboard.
