I have posted here before about an older Johnson engine I was considering to buy to put on a SeaNymph CenterConsole I am re-building. I passed on that deal based on everyone's advice-- especially about the boat that came with it for free and the idea of a fiberglass lawn ornament. <br /><br />I have found an early 80's vintage Johnson 150 and if I remember right I believe that some previous advice discussed early vs. late 80's Johnson's and a re-design giving more HP from the late 80's.<br /><br />This one comes with PTT and control cables and a semi-warranty-- will return $$ if engine fails. Asking price is $1200 to $1500. Sorry I don't have the model numbers as yet. It is a freshwater motor off of a deck boat. Anything in particular I should look for on this vintage Johnson?<br /><br />Thanks in advance for any advice.
