Am looking at a 1988 Johnson 2 stroke 15 shaft,5 hp looks good is 450.00 to much for that motor ? its well maintained your 2 cent is needed thanks
 
Around here, there's not much demand for motors that small. Most people that fish, want to hit the rivers as much as the lakes and your max speed would be cut almost in half by the current so you couldn't get too far from the ramp or it would take forever to travel the upstream leg of your outing. $450 would probably be on the high end for a motor like that.
 
Motor prices vary widely with what season it is and where its located. But from what I've seen that seems like a fair price if it runs good and doesn't need mechanical work.
