Johnson 40 hp outboard Vintage power boating
my dad bought this boat in 1979 and he recently handed down me to enjoy with my family. the 40 hp Johnson super see horse is a 1960 model.

How does that thing still run!?

They don’t make em like they used to. Never been rebuilt either but it has the power of a newer 30hp outboard. That’s basically why I like the old toys they are simple and most of the time they always work.
