Looking at upgrading my 1981 25hp evinrude to a 40hp. Ran across a 1994 40hp motor locally listed for $1000. I am currently waiting on photos of the motor. I don't have a model number yet. I do know it comes with the remote controls. It does not have power tilt/trim (but I have a cmc trim unit, so thats not an issue).
I have goggled looking for info on this age motor trying to see how much it weighs or any prominent issues that they have but have been unsuccessful in my search. Does anybody have any feedback on 40hp Johnson motors from around this time period? Any idea on current value? Weight? Reliability? Availability of getting replacement parts?
The motor is at a marine dealership and comes with a 60 day warranty. It supposedly has been checked over and tuned up. I would prefer to deal with a individual as I think I could get a better deal, but the warranty makes me feel better about buying a old motor. Any input?
