Been looking for a good outboard for a while now....and came across this 6hp Johnson. It's a 1999 I believe. He says it runs good and the only thing wrong with it is that it won't stay in the "up" position. He's asking $375. I live 2 hours away and wondering if it is worth the risk. Anyone know anything about these?Attachment 115804Attachment 115805Attachment 115806
Willy that's hard to say. Just like you looking at pictures you can't tell how it runs. If it won't stay up something is broken, might be inexpensive fix but pictures tell me that motor has been treated pretty rough. That's going to be up to you to decide but I would just keep looking. There are deals out there just take your time.
Yes I agree I am going to keep looking
in the picture it looks like the trim pin is missing?
Yep, strmwalker is right there are missing parts on the trim bracket, and these would be parts that normally never go missing, I would keep looking if it were me.
looks like the one i saw on cregs list .yes i would want to know what is missing and closer pick would help . most small motors look rough becouse thay are removed from boat usealey when transporting .and it is 14 years old .
Thanks for the advice. I have found one that is in much better shape, even though it is older. I'm going to pick it up Saturday
