I had a 1997 175 HP Johnson Ocean Pro carb pig that smoked like a steel mill chimney stack, but she ran like a banchy.

That looks like a maiden voyage. Nice to see her in the water!!! Did you take her for a ride or just a test float? Looks good. Would love to see more pics.

It was a test float to see where the water line was so I could paint the black stripe.Plus the shift cable needs to be adjusted in and no lights are hooked up yet. But what it really was, was I was tired of smoking out the neighborhood running all the old oil out of the line.

At least there shouldn't be any mosquitoes left in the area, way to smoke them!!

But I bet you got more than $200 in that 4 stroke!!!

opps forgot about the $0.50 worth of grease to free the steering pivot point, $20 in spark plugs and $73 for a water pump.
