Input needed!!! 1999 150hp Johnson loop charged outboards.

[Winks]

Hello, I am looking at a pair of the above mentioned engines and don't know the much about them. These engins have a total of 350hr and are in good condition. Can any one give me the low down on these motors before I move forward..
Thanks, Winks

"BEEF" it's whats for dinner.. Really, thanks for your interest. These motors are carburated to start with and I am converting my 1969 25' Bertram (Mark II). She is currently powered w/in-line 6's 165hp. Just the way she left the factory. Plans are to install a transom bracket. I keep the boat in the water here in St.Pete Fl. I'm over the yearly problems with the old style power that I have been dealing with now for nearly 14yrs. The johnsons belong to my broker/friend. He wants to go to a single 250hp. He wants $5000.00 for the pair w/stainless wheels and the rigging. That is well under n.a.d.a. low value. Any helpful info would be great.

In my opinion the 60 degree motors were one of the best, if not the best, design OMC came up with. Bombardier must think so too as they've expanded the line to include a 200.

I've owned a couple and can't think of one bad thing about them. I have one on my son's flats boat now. Very quick revving, powerful and great on fuel. And this motor is carb'd.

Just make darn sure to keep Theyre finiky in them. They're finiky about that.

Well thank you very much for the input.. I think for the money I am not making a bad move. The BIGest part of the project is getting the boat ready. But having motors lined up gets things rolling. I think she will be a cool ole Bertram when all said and done!!! I am going to be selling off all of the older inline Merc stuff that I have if any one may need parts. You name I probably have it stuck away some where.
Thanks again, Winks
