    1963 Johnson QD 24 10hp revival questions

    The last years of the 10hp (like yours) have heftier wrist pins (a weak point on earlier OMC 10s), and sturdier gears (tho yours didn't survive), which were a weak point after they moved from the 5-bolt lower unit (shared with the 18hp) to the 4-bolt (shared with the 5.5/7.5). If the pistons...

    Can you indentify this aluminum boat?
