1993 120 hp Johnson
Hi
I have the opportunity to buy a 1993 120 hp. Johnson on a Bryant boat. Being somewhat new to the boating marketing, I am looking for some information on this package. I am looking for a reliable boat, that I can take the kids skiing, tubing, etc. A reasonably fuel efficient motor would be nice. If anyone has any comments about this motor, I would greatly appreciate hearing from them. Thanks Mike |

Bryant makes very decent boats, but, again, the rig is 10 years old and might have been subjected to heavy use or even abuse. Skiing, especially, puts a lot of strain on an engine, since one usually slams the throttle to the firewall to get the skier out of the water. I don't know much about tubing. -- Email sent to is never read. |

Have a QUALIFIED technician check out the motor completely, and give it a water test if possible. That would be money well spent to make sure it is in reasonable shape. Also figure on a complete servicing including tune-up, decarbonizing, water pump and thermostats, plus an inspection of the fuel and oil systems paying attention to the condition of the hoses, fittings, and clamps.
