hours do you have on your pre-bomb i.e late 90's V-4 jonny/rude.has it been reliable or a money pit.I have an 98 johnson 115 ficth ocean runner that seems o.k but don't have a hour meter,bought used.I know one thing i have never seen a boatmotor accelerate as fast as this machine does.It seems as though you go from still to wide open instantly.So lets here your hours and luck with this motor. waynebo
