I have looked at a boat that I intend to buy upon my doing a compression test on the motor. It is a 87 Johnson 120 oil injected. Are there any issues to worry about with this motor. I am buying from the original owners who claims that he has changed leg oil every year. Any adivse would be great.
The boat is a 1987 17 foot open bow deep Vee.

Great motor. Should be very good power for that size hull.
