Assuming you have a four stroke Vanguard of 16/18HP, you can direct swap a 23HP Vanguard in as plug and play. They’re like $800 new so pretty easy swap. Anything else will require fabrication, but given these things are dead simple in their construction, it’s not terribly difficult beyond making the few things necessary to swap. If you’re just looking to replace the old tires motor, I’d go this route. Having ridden in a MaxII I’m a little surprised you don’t like the Argo as they’re similar enough but the Argo has better fit and finish. My opinion.
