[WRANGLERNJUSTINS]

ok i have talked a littel bit about this motor im looking at getting, but i need some info if u guys can help me . the motor im looking at is a 99 johnson 150 faststrike. that is what the guy told me on the phone. he said it was manufac tured in november 1998. so that would make it a 99 model right? ok now here is my other question, is a 99 johnson 150 called a faststrike? the guy told me it was a fast strike and it was gray. it is going on a 18 foot javelin 379t. what kind of prop and size do you recommend? this is a used motor not rebuilt by the way. should i worry too much ? thanks

Re: 99 johnson?????

The 60 deegree motors are very good and it is an excellent choice for an 18' rig.<br /><br />The exact prop will depend on the set up and intended useage. Transom mount - jack plate - set back etc. The target rpm with an average load will be 5800 to 6000.<br /><br />Good luck!
