Hi everyone,<br /> i'm looking to replace my motor. a local mechanic has a 1993 Johnso 115hp that he rebuilt from head to toe, including new wisco aluminum pistons and ***/trim. he's asking $2200. does this seem like a fair value? i want a reliable motor but can't afford much. let me know if anyone else has a good rebuild 115-130hp. <br />thanks,<br /> sea star

I just sold my 98 115 with all new pistons and bearings and a few other parts and new gears in the lower for 2800.<br /> sounds like its in the ball park<br /> but I ran mine on my boat for 50 gallons of fuel before I sold it

Sounds like a fair price to me. Is installation included? If so, Definately!

well i have a 95 225 25" and a 96 112 20" I am putting together now :) <br />both are for me but if the price is right its all for sale. the 225 will reside on a 18'hydrasports fish and ski and the 112 on a 19' seaswirl striper I just picked up with a locked up 1994 115.<br /> seems a lot of boaters will need motors down south this year.

thanks for the help. yeah, installation's included plus controls and he'll warranty it for a season, so i think it's a go!

With installation controls and a warranty it sound like a great deal. I paid $1300 for a freshly rebuilt Johnson 100 early this year. Had to buy controls seperately and install everything myself.

$2200 is a good price. I get about 2500-3000 for this job in Arkansas.
