Location: Elgin, IL | I have a 96 carbed V6 150 on my restoration project, and I really like it.
This summer, when I had it completely checked out by my local Johnson tech, I had mentioned repower options he looked at me like I was nuts. He suggested a rebuild before repower.... it is that good of a motor design.
I would like a Merc for it someday....that 175 sled has would be perfect, or the new Merc 150 4S, I can go up to a 190. But I couldn't afford that right now, so I'm running the old equipment, and I would rebuild it in a heartbeat. It fits the boat.
I'm just saying that sometimes the old stuff is just as good as new, especially when it's affordable. That's just an opinion.
