My god father passed away, this was his boat, i now have it but don't know what kind of motor it is. (he literly had 4+ storage units full of motors and tanks, but my god mother just sold them all to some guy that paid however much to take them all away)

I do know that it takes a pressured gas tank as when i cleaned it up to try it out i realized my tank doesn't fit on this motor :( and from what i can tell from the marina that i spoke to, it may be a hassle finding one around. boat motor.jpg

i will guess a 1956 johnson that has had a non-correct paintjob!! and it is an easy job to convert it to single line/ fuel pump set up.

I would say a Johnson as well but no idea of the year...

It is no doubt a 50's Johnson 30 HP motor (and a darn good motor as well).
