Finished rebuilding a Northway Explorer. Recreative Industries said in all their parts books its a "285". Got all the parts I needed from them except engine. Book shows JLO. Not sure of size/hp/cc. Question is, what does anyone recommend for the "best" engine for this type of 6x6? Not looking for the biggest/baddest, but a good running engine for a weekend machine with the kids in the field. Find JLO, 12 hp duropower, 16hp B&S, or ? Would appreciate any assistance and/or ideas.

I would run at least a 16hp motor and probably try to find an 18hp if you could. -

For the trails: a four-stroke of at least 18hp, for an adrenaline rush and just plain great fun: a two-stroke twin.
Stuck in the seventies- not in the swamp.

Call Recreatives, they make Max ATV's (which are the same exact thing as the Northway Explorer). Amphibious Six-Wheel Drive All-Terrain Vehicles: MaxATVs - Call 1-800-255-2511 They are really helpful people and they'll be able to get you all the parts you would need."Looks like you have a problem with your 4 wheeler........you're missin' two wheels there"

I second that. If you're talking parts you can get them cheaper direct from the manufacturer instead of buying from a third party who also has to buy from the manufacturer. As for the engines, I would also look somewhere else for those. There are much cheaper engines all over the place. Save some cash for something else
