[QUOTE="1960 yellowboat, post: 469596, member: 24593"] Now I'm certainly no expert on anything, but you got one HELL of a nice boat for $200! That motor looks to be in good shape too. I'd keep it. 70 horse Johnson is a good motor. I'd go over it and run it. A new yamaha 90 is around $7500. In this day and age 2 strokes have limited resale value but OMC products are famous for running forever. Yank the rotten floor out and put in new and re=inforce the transom just to be on the safe side. You can get closed end pop rivets that won't allow water intrusion. That's the perfect winter project for those living in the frozen north. And I'd definately replace the rollers with vinyl covered bunks. [/QUOTE]
