they are great engines, but those are the down years right before they were bought out. But at this point any issues would manifested themselves by now.

Re: johnson 150 fast strike

no knocking noises , good compression, and a clean, smooth lower unit is the basis for a solid outboard.... all the other little kremlins are easily fixed usually....

or not nearly as expensive to fix.....

the carbs leak often...because they are plastic and the brass ball sealing a construction passage becomes lose.

good luck

As long as it's got carbs it should be okay. The only thing I can remember about that model year was they had some gear case probs but that should have been cured by now.
