[QUOTE="user 6672, post: 336651, member: 6672"] Ive had great luck with an early 80's Johnson 25 hp, 91 Johnson 30 hp and a mid 80's merc 18 xd. As with anything mass produced you can get some lemons. A lot of how the motor will be in its life with you is up to the previous owner and how they treated it, maint etc.. and also with what preventative maint you do once you get it. As far as abstract.. ask your neighbor what he has in his barn or ask family memebrs about outboards they have laying around. Or talk to small outboard mechs, Even some of the big dealers around here take old outboards in trade and sell them to a small ob mech. Whatever you decide,prior to buying it make sure you run it on a boat and get comp numbers.. good luck.. [/QUOTE]
