Wanted: 10-15hp Outboard

I will possibly be getting an old (really old) Sears john boat that was initially my great grandfathers. My grandfather had it completely gone through by a guy and had all of the original wooden seats redone and all of the brass refinished and the boat back to a condition that it is able to go back in the water.

I am looking for a 10-15hp motor for the boat. I'm debating on wether or not I want a modern motor or a reliable "old" motor. I think it would look good and be pretty cool if it had an old Evinrude, Johnson, Wizard or something of the sort. If you know of anyone or have one please PM me or text at 850-294-9864. Thanks in advance.

Something like the link below would be cool.

If you are going to use it....buy the newest motor you can afford. If it is going to be a showpiece then an older motor would be cool. I just like reliability.
