I have a 40hp Johnson.. from 1970.
It was rebuilt 6 years ago.. and ran super great...until..
last friday.. now I have a hole the size of a gulf ball
coming out the side of the head. (...

I have a 1963 boston whaler.. 13.5 feet long..

My question is.. what is a reasonable price range for
a newer.. lets say.. mid 90's up.. for a 50 hp motor?
A great working motor.. ?

I know the 100 bucks a hp gimmick for a new one..
I am hoping to find a great motor for about a grand.


For ball park starting point, check www.iboats.com and go from there. Of
course, your best bet is a locally owned, well maintained, low hours motor
being sold by someone who doesn't really know the value 8-), but that
website will give you a frame of reference.


Thank you.. and yes.. i am looking for THAT person.
