I have a 1993 johnson 150 faststrike (VJ150GLETR) that was fathful for 13 long well used years.Couple weeks ago the crankshaft locked up. I removed, disassembled and inspected found all rods and crank bearings wiped out.Seeing this I dought the core will be of any Refundable use when I purchase a new or rebuilt powerhead for replacement.
What I need to know is what are the differences between the 150 and 175, I've been told the only dif was the block porting and jetting of carbs.If this is true I want to purchase a 175hp does anyone know for sure and are there any suggustions on suppliers of best powerhead replacement units?
Thanks!
