[QUOTE="moedelawn, post: 492672, member: 26670"] Love those old motors. I have 2 1969 25hp Johnsons. Just rebuilt one. Had to get the pistons from England. Repainted and need to paint the cover. One of them my dad bought new in 1969 for $400.00. The gears were replaced in the late 80's with the spline shaft and Atomic electronic ignition replaced the points. The gears costed as much as he paid for the motor. I run it occasionally for nostalgia. When i was 14 dad would drop us off at the launch and tell us what time to be back. No cell phones! Pushes the 15' southfork 25mph with just me. It's really like an 18 hp by current standards. The new 25 yamaha pushes the same boat 32mph. [/QUOTE]
