[QUOTE="Skidz, post: 240408, member: 3920"] I'm a Johnson fan, had several over the years and never had one iota of trouble from any of them. As for parts/repair work and availability, I'm pretty sure you can get just about any part for even very old OMCs quite easily and reasonably. I would go with the Johnson. However, I do know that Yammie builds a great OB, and a 3 cyl gives you some extra oomph the Johnny might be lacking. Also, replacing the water pump and impeller, (might as well do the whole kit), is easy. If you do it yourself, you will learn your engine, and save a lot of $$ too. It's really a toss up. They both will need at the least an impeller change and replace the LU lube, if nothing else than to give you peace of mind. Try to see em run if you can, and make the choice. They both sound like solid deals to me. [/QUOTE]
