135 Johnson?
Hey guys, I'm looking into a 2001 135 hp Johnson outboard. Does anyone have any experiance or opinions about these motors? Also what kind of performance could I expect with this motor on a bracket? Any info would be appreciated.

I personally think that much under a 150hp is marginal power for a V20. Sure many do use less and have decent results. I just think that the motors work a little bit harder thereby shortening their lifespan.
Of course this is just my opinion.

i tend to agree with cb, but a 01 135 would be about the same as a mid 80's 150, so it might not be so bad. i had a 19 ft mako with a 115 and it was underpowered so i would be cautious. like most things in life there is no substitute for cubic inches..

i may be wrong, but isn't the 135 a comercial model looper? Something like a derated 150?

I don't think so spare. Not with the '01 models. I might be wrong too though.

According to the BRP catalog, it is a V4 looper. Should have plenty of power for a V-20. You have to remember that the 90 degree loopers have GOBS of torque. It won't be no speed demon, but if propped correctly will give good milage and adequite performance.
