[QUOTE="Macgyver, post: 71467, member: 952"] I pretty much agree with the above post . I've worked on lots of older motors , merc, chryslers and johnnyrudes. I'd have to say johnnyrudes are the most reliable, most older motors you'll find WILL need work. Minimum , be prepared to rebuild a carb and maybe replace some coils. but after you do that you'll have a good reliable motor. I have a 74' johnson 25HP and I had to do just that . it didn't cost me that much and is a great motor. I also restored a 57' rude 5.5 hp and it was a great little motor also . [/QUOTE]
