    2005 Johnson motor

    I'm looking at a boat that has a 2005 40hp johnson with a jet lower on it. I've only owned mercs in the past and was wondering about Johnson motors? Dependable? Cold natured? Low maintenance? Any info is appreciated

    They will only use more fuel because the impeller on the jet isn't as efficient as a prop, you'll make up the savings in l/u repairs!! I understand there is a ss impeller that would give a little more ommph and maybe more mph....
