good first AND second .60 size engine?
I'm with Ed Moorman (my ex-wife's math teacher oh so long ago)
Beginners don't need "performance" and "unlimmed vertickule" <sic>....they need simplicity.
If you're gonna say "BB is better"...say WHY?
Beginners think: "What's break in?"
In fact, a beginner doesn't know a THING about after run oils ,and so on....he doesn't know how to maintain a BB engine, so it isn't better! Bushing is better in that respect. It's essentially maintenance free.
After it goes into the deck a few times....who even cares?
A beginner is just that...a BEGINNER.
Go with the simple, easy, reliable stuff and leave the "tweaky" crap for later.
