Thread: Johnson outboards - Any good?

Found a boat that might suit our fishing and waterskiing purposes, BUT it has this on it.
2006 Johnson, 115hp and ~80hrs.

How concerned should I be?
1) Will parts be available?
2) Wikipedia says this “OMC filed for bankruptcy on 22 December 2000. It has been owned since 2001 by the Canadian firm Bombardier Recreational Products. Bombardier stopped selling outboards under the Johnson brand after 2007, and moved all sales entirely to Evinrude Outboard Motors until they were discontinued in June 2020. Bombardier supports existing Johnson outboard motors through servicing and parts. Evinrude also provides information about the year of manufacture for vintage Johnson motors, if the model number and serial number can be provided.
3) Are Johnson’s reliable anyway? I was targeting Yamaha, Honda, Suzuki i.e. Japanese.
4) To me 18 years and only 80hrs hints at irregular use. Maybe Xmas holiday only. Not ideal for engines.
For sure it’ll effect future resale. The current asking price even reflects it, but I’ll keep that in mind if end up viewing and making an offer.
