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.

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.

Breathing smoke out of anything other than a good Cuban cigar just isn't fun
