Re: 1969 Johnson 25R69D

Thanks for the info Frank! One thing that kind of attracted me to this motor is that it seems to use a lot of the same parts as my existing outboard. I kind of like the idea of having extra parts and it makes me feel like I haven’t completely wasted my money on my existing motor.

Unfortunately there doesn’t appear to be a lot of used outboards available in my area, at least not on Craigslist, so I don’t really have much to compare it to in terms of price. This motor is about 2.5 hours from where i’m located and it is more than I wanted to spend but it does seem to be pretty well aligned with outboard prices in this area. Maybe i’m looking in the wrong places?

Although I haven’t read anything about this specific model, from what I’ve read, Johnson’s from this time period seem to be pretty reliable and somewhat easier to work on compared to other outboards.
