Have decided to let'r go. It was a perfect 2019 build project for this ole faht, but we haven't been using it. And, I don't see that changing. I grew up with that ole Johnson. Still runs like new. Made forward controls for it and they work well. So... thought I'd drop it in here and see what happens. PM me for info. $2500 obo.
Looks like a nice build, my son-in-law would be all over something like that but Maine is a bit far for him to travel. I hope you find a good home for it.
A little update... a young couple bought the boat and really like it. He's gonna rig it to be, in his words, "the ultimate troller"... They posted a couple vids on facecord where I could hear that ole 1969 motor going strong, down the Penobscot River in Old Town. Cool.
