I'll know for sure tomorrow if I really got lucky today. Picked up a 20HP Johnson- mid 70's vintage for $150.00. Looked like the previous owner had hit a rock and took a small chunk of prop out. In the process, also took out the shear pin and the shift fork jumped out of position.<br /><br />Got it home and found everything loose. Includi<br />ng flywheel. This after the woodruf key sheared off while on first test run. 
<br /><br />Put shift fork in place, torqued down flywheel, sandblasted plugs. The motor runs awesome (for a 20 hp), in a garbage can full of water. <br />Shifted to foreward and blew out 1/2 the water from the can. <br /><br />Going for a test run on the Fox River tomorrow. <br /><br />Will keep you guys and gals posted. <br /><br />If all works right, I'll have an 18 HP Evinrude Fast twin for sale.<br /><br />Edited for speeling
