Reply To: Johnson 1954 CD-11 5.5

As Richard noted, “fully restored” may or may not be fully restored. A good paint job with original factory colors and decals, new ignition, new water pump, and fresh gearcase oil might make for a good looking and good running motor. But were the cylinders honed? New rings or pistons? New gaskets and seals? Even with all those factors considered, a motor is worth what someone is willing to sell it for and what someone is willing to pay for it.
