Hi guys! haven't posted here in a long time. I recently finished my boat and now I'm in the process of buying a motor, but first I'd like your opinions on things.
My boat is a 14 foot Feathercraft, and I have a line on a late 80s Johnson. It doesn't currently run (to my knowledge). The guy selling it is an outboard mechanic and claims it just needs carb work to get it running. It has electric start and is tiller controlled. I haven't been able to identify the year by finding pictures on google, but I'm thinking its a 1987 or 1988. The only picture he has of it is this:
So my questions are: is it worth 200 bucks? and what year is it? I have to figure this stuff out in order to see if the 2 hour trip is worth it. I searched the forums for anything looking like this motor and haven't had much success.
Any info is greatly appreciated
