    1998 150 johnson - reliable?

    Looking at purchasing a 98 carburated johnson with low hrs. Is this a reliable engine? Not real familiar with johnsons. Heard mixed reports on the fitch engines but have not heard anything bad on the carbed engine.

    The carb 60* engines have been the flag ship of the OMC engines thru the 90's. Solid engines, that with proper maintenance will run almost forever....JMHO
