I would like to hear any opinions, good, bad or otherwise about the 1966 100 hp V4 motors.

Re: Opinions of 1966 100S

I had one of those, a Johnny, on my 1966 Boston Whaler Sakonnet, Bruce.

It sucked gas like a vacuum cleaner and lasted 13 years before breaking the flywheel. I replaced the flywheel and then replaced it with a 1980 Johnny 70.

The Johnny 70 was just as fast but not quite as good on accelleration. It used about half the gas of the 100.
