$750 for an older Johnson seems a bit pricey to me. But if it's in excellent water ready shape it may be the way to go. I'd have to hear it run before I'd make an offer. Good motors are hard to find. If you bought one that needed a general tune up, you could easily spend $200 just for that. If...

I like both of them but kinda lean toward the 10 horse. Although you probably could go on you tube and see how to replace that gear. The sea king is a chrystler? oh oh , i goofed on that one. nice shape tho.

You can find steel tanks for cheap and fix them up too. Here is a 6 gallon one that cost me $5 for the tank, a $10 set of decals and a $18 hose assembly.

I had the same thing happen to me with bolts too long. What I did was to make one on each side 5 inches long and mount two extra props for the outboard on them and cut the rest down with a cut off tool from Harbor Freight that I got on sale for $10. When you get a motor, make sure you have...

Is Chattanooga too far away? I found two on CL that bear looking at. A 5 horse sea king, {johnson made them] in really nice shape for $300 in Rossville and an older 5.5 Evinrude for $100 in chat area. Look on the Chattanooga C L. Disn't see much on the Atlanta site but not sure where you are.

I would probably offer $150 and then take it to a shop for a tune up. If no spark, these are the retails costs of what you may need. Coils,,,,,,,,,,,,,$18 X 2 Condensors,,,,,$5 X 2 Points,,,,,,,,,,,$10 All from Marineengine.com

they're as nuts as we are! strictly a live bait guy. why use something that imitates bait instead of live bait?

Sheesh! Why not just buy the correct parts for both and have TWO good motors.

According to my information, a QD 20 is a 1959 engine and parts are still readily available for it. Unfortunately [ for me ] it is a two line fuel tank system but can be easily converted to fuel pump operation if you so desire.

Is that a QD-22? 1961? I went to Marineengine.com and they have everything for it

Do you live in Florida? I'd give you $150 for it in a heartbeat if it runs. Just my opinion but those older Johnsons run forever if maintained. Parts are easy to get and not expensive. Mix up some Evinrude XD50 oil at 24 to one and you'll be surprised at how well they run. The paint and cowling...

anything you can do to keep moisture off the wood is a good idea. That and stainless bolts and nylon washers is the way to go. Now e mail Jim and get a couple of Tin Boats decals and you're good to go. You did a better job than the guys that built the thing.

I really like that black bottom and red top. Looks sharp! Boards over the seats give the boat a true custom look. If you want to. go to E Bay under Vintage Boat Decals . Look for a seller named Dave Shabestari. He makes and sells reproductions of every boat manufactures name plates. One in...

UMMM just curious If you got a hole in the boat and put a tampon in it, would it swell up and seal the hole?

Well then, anything the bunks are covered with will still exhibit that miniscule amount of movement, right? Over time? If you can't escape it, why worry about it? After all, its just paint. overthinking?

Are you not worried about raising the center of gravity when you add the decking?

As I see it,You have two choices. A clean used johnson or Evinrude two stroke from the 80's or 90's [ easy to fix, stay away from all other makes] or a new four stroke. Down here in hurricane central, the motors of choice are Yamaha's. Quiet, dependable. That Chrystler may last a very long time...

I would do that as gasoline dissolves styrofoam.

Back in the day, guys would buy a 15 and put a 9.9 cowling sticker on it. Your 25 could become a 20

me too hopefully it won't hit GA
