    newb questions

    I have a few questions; 1. It doesn’t make sense to pay full price ($275 to $300) for a doodle bug then buy a 6.5hp engine and the mounting kit correct? 2. For $600, the price of a new doodle bug, a new engine and mounting kit, could I get something better then a 6.5hp doodle bug? 3. What...
