    Question J150GLSRM thoughts?

    Looking at a nice old Ranger that has a 2004 Johnson J150GLSRM on the back. Looks to be in very nice condition. Just wanted everyones thoughts/opinions on this motor. Is this motor just the Bombardier version/continuation of the Fast Strike motor? Looks like most parts are still available for it through boats.net and marineengine.com. Thanks.

    I have one same year, Been mine since 2012. Solid motor, I’ve changed the plugs twice and the bowls once. Other than that fog engine and change lower oil before the winter nap.

    Fred and the gang are great help!
