I have a 1994 Johnson 115 HP V-4 outboard. The compression isn't very great on it and the tilt and trim need replaced. The lower unit is good on it. We used it on our 20 ft. Four Winns boat last summer but couldn't keep it running. We're buying a Suzuki 140 HP to replace it and I'm looking to get rid of the Johnson. Can someone tell me what its worth in its current condition? I know it's probably not worth much but I don't want to just give it away either. If someone could give me a general idea what I can expect to get for it, I would much appreciate it! Cosmetically, the motor looks pretty good. Thanx for any help you can give!

Is the compression evenly low or is there a real bad one?

Either way I probably would try to get at least $500 for it. That Suzuki you posted about sounds like a steal (although I know nothing about older Suzukis and how well they're supported with parts)

I don't remember exactly...I should check the compression on it again for sure. I don't think any of them were real high like maybe 90's or so but as far as the range - I'd have to check again.
