I have the opportunity to buy a 1997 150 hp Johnson Ficht. I will be using it on my duck boat which gets used for 60 days/yr in cold weather etc. I am looking for any info on this motor. Thanks

This is a very early Ficht model. Beware these had a lot of issues. New technology, ahead of their time.

Get a diagnostic report for the engine. How many hours? What work has been done?

Confirm that all fixes/upgrades have been applied as per re-call notices.

If the motor has 100+hrs on it, it will likely last as good as any motor of that age.

Be aware there is very little re-sale value due to negative perception.
