I bought a 1973 johnson 9.5 last year. Looks great but the mechanic I brought it to said it sat so long all the seals are bad and its going to have to be tore down completely. minimum of $350 fix for him to do it. Who's had one before, is this a real strong motor? is it going to be worth it? Is it a tuff job for the average guy thats fairly mechanicly inclined? Or what do you think a fair price is to ask for it sold as is? Thanks in advance, Pete

there a bugger to clean but oh so worth it.
mom used to brown it rolled in flour and salt and pepper. put it in a roaster add onions, dry onion soup mix and bake it. depending on how bog or old it was pretty much depended on how long it needed to bake!!!!! usually a good 3-4 hours!!!!
Any recs on how to find a good general dentist in Stamford? I will be paying cash. Getting a referral from a trusted friend or family member would be nice but let's say this isn't an option.
Thanks
