2005 Johnson Bombardier 90 hp evaluation

[georgiaboy]

I bought a Triton with a 2005 Johnson Bombardier 90 hp. Since this is my first boat purchase sine my 1982 Tracker i wonder how my motor stacks up to other motors. Should have done some research but loved the boat and it was a good deal. So tell me what you know about these motors and are there any special things particular to the Johnsons. It has very low hours and I have noticed it seems to run better every time I use it. That could partly be due to my learning the rig in general. Don't hesitate to be critical if I make a mistake.

You are not telling us what specifically you are concerned about or interested in. It's a 60 degree V4 oil injected engine of 105.4 cubic inches (1726cc). It's recommended wide open throttle rpm is 4500 - 5500 rpm but it can be propped for 5800 RPM. It has a 2.0:1 gear case but may have a 2.25:1 optionally. It has two dual throat carbs and is fitted with a 20A alternator with regulated output. It weighs about 335 pounds. It's a good motor. Keep it decarbed, use a fuel system conditioner to keep the fuel system and carbs clean and it will run for years.
