I have A 1 CYLINDER LAUSON I would guess about 3 hp
it has some sort of gear box but I have not played with it for years, it could be just a clutch. I can see it but its 10 feet back in the pile. I will try and dig it out next week end

Would be interested to know, when you reach it, how much it weighs. My wooden boat is only 15' long and I need something light weight. Wondering if the gearbox is a FNR set up. The one I've seen on ebay has that.

WHAT DO YOU CONSIDER LIGHT WEIGHT.
This is a cast iron engine and it does look like
a gear box. I would guess this to be 90 to 100 lbs.

Good question. Dick Alcock had suggested a single cyl. Waterman, and you had emailed me about a twin you had. Because the Waterman has a copper water jacket and alum. base the weight was considerably less. Not sure what the weight threshold is. Maybe 90# is over that. THe engine just looked quite small but I can't find any other info on it. Dick had mentioned that a Waterman twin still might be OK for weight. So I wonder how the weight of both of those compares.

The ad is poor quality and hard to read but it appears the single cylinder Waterman is 36 lbs and the two cylinder 80 lbs.

I have what is probably 2 hp Lauson marine engine. 4 cycle air cooled with a FNR acomplished with belts and a drum. Weights about 55 lbs. I pulled it out and doesn't have spark. I'll see if I can get running.

My tag list the Model as: RSM807 with a serial no. of 70896. The engine look like yours except the gas tank is mounted on the shroud in the front. Looks like your link indicates my engine is 1-1/2 hp.
