Need advice on purchase
1994 V21 with 150 Johnson Ocean Runner (I think that's the right nomenclature). Seller has owned boat for 20 years (bought it new). Has been under sheltered boat lift forever. Boat is in excellent condition. After boat ride (15 minutes) motor would not idle. Gas leaking form engine box. Otherwise engine ran great. Has trailer - new tires - springs etc. are in good condition - has electric winch.
He wants $8,000. I'm concerned about the Johnson motor. Sorry but no pictures. Any advice? Thanks.

those are good motors but they do have computer issues from time to time. The fuel pump is most likely leaking and causing the idle issue. check compression and see if he will lower the price alot. wouldn't pay more than $5500 for it especially as it is with the idle / fuel leak.

Get us the compression test results an also hand prime it with the hood off and look for the leak. it will show up while being primed.

Compression
Compression is above 200 on each cylinder according to owner.
Good advice on removing cover while priming. I thought of offering $6,000 since this V20 is as good as any I have looked at in the past 2 years. Thanks much for the input Big-G

Not sure about your year but my 93 Ocean Runner 150 left me hi and certainly dry. The rings split on mine basically making the engine worthless. They are notorius for this but not sure about that year. I would def. research it though......

Final post
Offered $6,000. Offer rejected. Don't think anyone will offer more.
Been looking for V20/21 for last two years. Sure wish this boat had a Yama or Merc on the stern. Thanks a bunch, everyone, for the feedback. Big-G
