Hi Guys, I'm looking for some opinions here, so far this forum has been great. I am looking at 75 Glastron tri hull tomorrow. It has a 50 horse Johnson O/B on it. Don't know anything about these engines. Are they decent or are there things to watch out for.
Thanks, Wes.

Too little information to give any kind of useful answer, Wes. For example, there have been at least 6 different 50HP Johnsons over the past 58 years.

I understand there have been a bunch of different one over the years. I'm wondering if Johnson is still in business making boat engines. Thats what has steered me away from an OMC product. I'm going to go look at it in about and hour, I'll see how it runs then. It an older gentleman who owns it and he says its been garaged when stored and he hasn't used it in about three years and health issues keep him from using it now. We'll see how it is.
Thanks, Wes.
