So your saying that this engine is from 1962? Because that is the year of boat, but the engine does not look that old. I have pictures of the boat/engine if anyone is interested. okay, i was also told that this Johnson had beeen rebuilt, it may have only been the lower end How might i find this out?

Ask the seller who did the work and talk to them about what they did.
