I've got a chance to buy a 1988 Johnson V4 115 VRO for $500. Should replace nicely the '85 70hp 3 cylinder Johnson that's on my boat now. Are there any major problems known for this model? Any bugs or other things I should look for or watch for? Is this a decent deal for the price? Thanks in advance...

Not really, if you choose to either upgrade the vro to OMS or disconnect and pre-mix at 50:1 ratio. Happy motor swapping. I would de-carb it and of course run a compression test on the motor before I laid out 500 clams.
I've got an 85 115 and I love it. With the new prop I am running close to 60 with mine.
Burning the candle at both ends.
hello....... if you dont buy that 115 let me know i'm interested!! thanks paul.....
Thanks for the input, Champ, but I've got a dumb noob question: what do you mean by de-carb?
