I have been running a 1992 200 hp Johnson which is essentially the same motor as yours since I bought it new. In fact, in 2005 I pulled it off my old boat and put it on a new hull. The only problem with the older motors is the fact they like gas, a lot of gas. I looked at it like this....You can buy a lot of gas for the price of a new motor at $20,000.00! And, then you still have to buy gas for it as well.

12 years later, my motor still runs fine and I saved 20 grand.
