i just bought a 14' Chrysler Big Fisherman with an 18hp Johnson Sea Horse. i took it out this weekend and it started and ran, but it really seemed to lack rpm or power, i'm not sure which. It was nowhere near planing out. i checked the hub in reverse, per a previous post, it doesn't appear to be "spun". i've decided the best approach would be to correctly identify the year it was made before tinkering with it. The model # on the plate reads FD-12, and the serial # is 1709146. i tried links to the OMC site, but they didn't work, at least for me. i'm guessing that in it's prime this motor should have performed much better on this hull. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
