Has anyone had any experience with this motor? Any little idiosyncracies I should know about. I am looking at one for sale but am unfamiliar with them. Is there a specific site where I can get user input without a sales or mfg pitch, youknow like just plain objective assessments? Thanks in advance. Chris
The Johnson/Evinrude V-4's are perhaps one of the best engines produced. If the compression is good and the motor runs fine, for the right price, you can't go wrong.

Thanks I have done some research and concluded that it was a good engine but it is always better to hear from actual users. The motor is on a 63 Nauset that is supposed to be ,and looks to be, solid,dry and has only the usual cracking and checking. With trailer for 4K ..I just agreed to buy it so I guess i will find out. What the heck.... I now own two Whalers and had none a year ago....what's happening to me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
