[QUOTE="Pappy, post: 218448, member: 3278"] The early 3-cylinder Johnson and Evinrude line of engines are extremely reliable, not too expensive, and easy to work on. They were 49C.I. until 1986 and went to 56C.I. beyond that year. In checking one out make sure you are able to take the engine to the water and let it idle in gear. If it has a good strong steady idle without slowing and dying it should be a good engine with little internal wear. Of course you want to check all the basics first. I have a 1982 60hp Johnson on my 15 Whaler and it has plenty of power and performance for that hull. [/QUOTE]
