penny for your thoughts?
Ok gentleman, so last weekend i was out fishing and my motor started running rough. its a 97 johnson 200 ocean pro. came in and checked it, it has low compression on 2 cylinders. oil pump and water pump both seem to be fine, so i am not sure what caused this, or if it was an issue from the previous owner.
I went this morning and got a price for a new 150 optimax at $12,500 rigged. I have not got estimates on what it is going to be to fix the johnson though, so i am curious as to what yall would thing the best course of action would be. i like the new motor idea, but id have to finance it.

Are the two cylinders next to each other?
Could just be a head gasket.

What was the compression? If it was the bottom 2, and only say 10-15PSI lower, then that is normal. Some later model engines had bigger combustion chambers on the bottom 2 cylinders than the top 4 had which gave lower compression out of them.

If you don't get your engine fixed,and happen to wind up looking for a used engine, I have a 96 130 Johnson for sale w 126 hours on a new power head from 09 I'm going to be selling. Just throwing it out there.

if you go new, look at four strokes because they are not obsolete like Hair bands, Mullets, and 2 stroke motors....
 would you buy a new car with a carburated V8, drum brakes and 3 on the tree? If so, I have a VHS tape player you might be interested in...
