    That looks just like my motor – nicely restored. It is a beauty and so is mine. This little boat is not going anywhere – I searched long and hard for the 9′ Livingston LV9 and got a good deal on a slightly used 2014 model. I got it to plane and it screams with one person but 2 people it pushes through. I also have a 1996 Johnson 8hp 2 stroke that runs perfect and that really screams – low 20’s MPH with one person but it will not plane with 2 people – I ordered a 8 x 7 pitch prop for that motor to see what it will do instead of the 8.5 x 9
