New to outboards and need some help. Thinking of buying this boat with a Johnson motor. Was told a fresh rebuild (cost $1660) with 3 hours and it make 227 HP. Not sure the year of the motor, but boat is a 1987. What kind of speed do you think it run and how reliable are these motors? It will be a nice family cruiser Thanks Joe

Prob. around 80 mph. 1600 seems cheep for a rebuild but Im not a mechanic.
