My dad had several outboards as we were growing up including a ’63 Johnson CD he bought new and is now in my possession. We doubt if it has more than 100 hours of run time on it and it’s in near mint condition.
The first outboard I could actually call my own was a ’57 Johnson 7.5 horse AD found in a field in pieces. It took forever to get it running but a few years ago I gave it a full rebuild and restoration. Now it sits sleeping on a rack with a bunch of other motors patiently waiting to be woken up again.
