Hi, Im looking at a boat with a 1984 Johnson 70 hp on it. The compression on the cylinders is 120, 117, 120. Is that about right for a healthy motor? Do you think that this motor would be strong enough to pull a skier on a 1975 18" runabout? Or do you think it would be too slow for that kind of stuff, skiing, tubing, etc.

Re: 1984 Johnson compression

go to a 115hp. you will be much happier. the compression is good, look for that in a 115.
