I'm inclined to agree with you on the 290, but he's scraping to get the 300 I believe.
Between the Jonsy 2240 and the Stihl 250, I'm leaning toward Stihl. I just have a hard time recommending a saw with a primer bulb.
Husqvarna 435 is one that I always wanted to try. Until I got mt 346 that is.
Anyhow, the 435 seems to be quite underrated and would be a good homeowner/hobby business starter saw.

I think id try to find a 345 myself.
If you care about the kid beat safety into his head till he starts cussin' ya' then beat it in some more.
In my opinion, I couldn't imagine trying to cut wood to sell with anything less than a 60cc saw. I say steer him toward a used 034 Super/036... Maybe a used Echo CS-600... Husky 460 perhaps??
I can't imagine cutting wood all day with a ~40cc saw... seriously.

I used to cut all my wood with an Echo CS4400 for years before i found this site, then all hell broke loose!
BUT, cutting for yourself vs. cutting as a business is 2 different animals. We cut for our own family with an 031 Stihl for YEARS when I was a kid... but we only heated our own house.
