muddywaders » Yesterday, 14:49[/url]"]My buddy is thinking of buying a 2003 Johnson 25 and was asking me if they were good motors but I recall hearing about problems with 2000s era motors.What were the "bad" years for these?Are the parts the same as 80's and 90's models.When did Bombardier take over?My friend complains its hard to stay on plane with 3 guys in a 14' Lund with his 25 yamaha(2-stroke).Would the Johnson make better power?

Pappy » Yesterday, 08:48[/url]"]That family of engines is/was a "tried and true" design. Very little change during the last several years of production.
Extremely good engines to get ahold of. With good oil and good maintenance and a common sense approach to operation it should last as long as you want it to.
