howdy just wanted to share this with all of you.to start off im rebuilding a 1978 procraft 1640 bass boat.going ok but alot of non co-operating weather so its slow.had decided that the old force 85hp was in need of replacing so went shopping for an old outboard of a 90-115hp range.well a friend needed help roofing his house and asked if i would stop by and spend a little time on the roof.being a good friend i said sure.there were 3 of us and although it wasnt the most professional job in the world it looks good for ammatures.<br /> well he wanted to pay us for helping out.i told him not to worry about it just to remember that eventually ill need a favor.he told me he was going to pay me anyway but he has very little money so didnt know how.i didnt want to offend him so told him whatever he thought was reasonable, and whenever.i dont really need the money and im not in any hurry.well he has an older boat in his back yard dont know what make or model.just a mid 70's tri-hull.with a 100hp johnson commercial outboard.still runs just needs a bit of tuning,cleaning, the regular stuff.so if you havent figured it out by now...yup he gave me that old outboard.A 1971 johnson 100hp commercial,in running condition.he knows i was in need of a motor and preferably an older one to fit the are of the boat.i believe this one will fit very well.i did try to turn it down once but didnt on the second offer.just happy to help out a friend.
