I can't comment on the rebuild but I ran a 95 Johnson 175 HP v6 from 2002 to 2008. The only trouble I ever had was with the starter. Was not a difficult fix (did it myself) and it was fine. Be sure to change the water pump impeller every couple years.

the only comment I can make is its 20 years old ...My bet you fix one problem & you,ll have another .

I told Throwing Timber the same thing a few years ago . we bought it anyway ............got no idea how much EXTRA it cost him or how much time off the water ><><

I agree.

it could be a rock solid rebuild, or it could be one hassle after another. only one way to find out.... personally i would look for something newer.
