[QUOTE="Lil' Blue Rude, post: 176602, member: 4627"] The first thing that comes to mind is it threw a rod. That's the only reason i've heard of them busting like that. Only way to tell for sure would be taking off the reed plates to look down the runner. You would be able to clearly see the crank and rod assembley. 40hp johnsons are good motors and are dang near bullet proof for the most part . If you buy the boat you could pick up a new power head on ebay for a couple hundred and you would have some spare parts off the old motor. It would be an easy swap. Less than an hour if you know what your doing.Thats just my two cents. [/QUOTE]
