Reply To: Weight of a Johnson 40hp supersea horse

thanks Dave. good point on shaft length, I was wondering that myself. I’ll have to measure the transom height and determine if this motor is appropriate for the boat.
I assume it is, as it came with the boat but who knows? The person I bought it from had purchased it three years ago with the intention of restoring her. He put it in his barn
and never got around to it. (sounds like me with about 18 motors in the garage!) I’d like to pick up a 1958 motor so I have one the same age as the boat anyway. I’ll get the
40hp working and sell or trade it to get a 58 motor.
