Re: 18SF Restoration - Advice on top paint and details

I like that seat post, ideally I'd like it just a little wider and not on a pedestal, but I would consider that if I can't find what I'm ideally looking for. Who makes that?

Re: 90 or 115 ETEC for 18SF?

Wow, a 175 on an 18SF. That thing must fly. Seems more than I need for the chop I ride. I mean the boat is only 2,000 lbs with the motor and loaded with fuel. I don't want a V6 and associated...
