1973 cross tuned Johnson 85 to 135 info

The L instead of an X. Are you saying it's not?

L is for long shaft !!-----This is a crossflow motor.----X is for extra long shaft.-----Research required on your part I say.

So the looper came out a year later...I thought i had a unicorn. So essentially the 115 is a little better than my 85 but still not the best to build. I'm going to go grab a few more of these v 4s and start a collection. I'm a heavy Equipment/hydraulic Mechanic so this boat isn't too bad. Just my first real 2 stroke experiment.

The 115 Looper didn't arrive until the Mid-Late 1990s

1969 was the Year OMC introduced the Completely redesigned V4s


1971 was the year they Introduced the 2 cylinder 41 inch 50 HP

Sorry for the "inaccurate information". Been awhile, and I may have remembered incorrectly plus I didn't thoroughly investigate the subject of other engines (than mine) at the time....just casual observations and chit chat with my boating buddies at the time.
