Post by: KC on June 18, 2013, 09:33:53 AM

FYI...If you ever some across these model size boat motors...and they are low priced....grab it and run!!!  They sell from anywhere from $300 to $900. VERY COLLECTIBLE!!!!

I have seen them at a couple of swaps/meets.  There are repro's out there.  By seeing them in person...you can tell by holding them (weight/feel) that they are quality.  They really work. 

That Johnson is rusty and had condition issues.  I saw the bid was up to $50. It has seen some hard time....but still $50 (if it doesn't go higher) is a good deal.
