Re: 74 Johnson 70 hp

Ok, this is a 76 not a 74. I have seen the pictures from under the cowl. The motor is in good shape. No dry rot, hoses look soft, looks well taken care of. I have worked it out so the buy it now price includes shipping. Just want to make sure I am getting a good motor. Thanks

Obviously a repaint. Original woulda been green bottom and mid with a white top with the unique '76 decal hood. Used red/orange/yellow over white. I had a '76 looper 70. Great motor. Usually see them on old trihulls, it moved my 16 tri/glass shy of 35.

It would move your boat real nice. Like he said it's a repaint. Looks like he used rustolium which works out real good. The price is kinda high however the after market trim and tilt could be sold for over 400 if you decide to get rid of the motor. Those are real fine motors, I have had several and am running a 1991-70hp now.
