New to board and boating

[RiL]

I am new here and to boating. Have lots of questions. <br />First things first. My name is Rick and Im from Lubbock, Texas. I bought a 1970 trihull boat with a 60 hp Johnson motor. I would like to know if there is any way to find out how old this motor is?<br /><br />Will just start with the one question for now. <br />Thanks alot, <br />Rick

Ril..... On the port (left) transom bracket (the bracket that bolts to the boat), there will be a plate with the model and serial number. There should also be a core plug (looks like a small quarter size freeze out plug) on the powerhead with those two numbers. Get the model number to us and we'll pinpoint exactly what you have.

Z-man or anyone else<br />I take it that the 70 is the year mod # and the 60 is the horse power. Do the other letters mean anything important?<br />Thanks, <br />Rick
