| Hiya,
I would also highly suggest the OMC products in those sizes as well. They were bulletproof if taken care of. Case in point: My father's 1973 Johnson 20hp is still running strong, excellent compression, and starts on the second pull cold yet.
With the 9.9 - 15 hp models, I would highly suggest looking for a mid to later 80's motor where the carb was built with all metal components. I had a 1988 15hp that I just could not get to idle properly. Replaced the carb (a 3-screw metal bowl if memory serves me correctly) and it ran perfectly from there on out... I should have never gotten rid of that motor. Strong and always reliable.
