To all you seasoned Johnson users:

Should I use my 1967 3 hp in great shape and runs like a swiss watch (and folds) or should I buy a 1991 3 hp johnson and sell the folder?

Which runs quieter and is easier to perform periodic maintenance on?

Thanks in advance,

fat boy:)

maintainance is about the same. the 91 will cost you a lot more than already having a 67. it is a great little motor easy to maintain. i have a 3 folder also.

If you have an older motor that runs great, why spend a lot of money on a newer motor? The old motor is simple to work on and will continue to run for years with regular maintenance. I don't want a motor newer than mid '70s - too many electronics to go out and not as easy to work on. IMOH, simpler is better.:)
