    Looking for specs

    I'm looking at buying a used Merc and not having a lot of familiarity with them I'm hoping to find some specifications on it. The seller says it's a 1988 150 hp exlpto with a serial # of B250609. The exlpto portion is easy enough to understand, but I'm having no luck matching up the serial...

    Johnson motor identification

    I recently came across someone selling a Johnson motor that I'm having trouble identifying. The cowling on the motor says it's a 140hp. Pictures of the motor quite clearly show that it's a V-6 and the seller of the motor is saying that the Model Number indicates it's a 150hp motor. Can anyone...

The owner has let me have it for the winter to look it over prior to completing the sale this spring, pending me being satisfied that the motor isn't junk. I posted about this a few weeks ago and got some good advice on what to...

    Looking for suggestions

    I'm in the process of buying a 1978 Glastron/Carlson CVX20 Sprint with a 1978 175hp Johnson. The current owner says he has a 24" pitch vented SS prop on it. He hasn't mentioned the diameter and I haven't see the prop with my own eyes yet so I can't guestimate. This seems like a bit too much...
