Johnson Outboard Motor

This item is an aged Johnson brand outboard motor, specifically appearing to be a two-stroke model due to its general design indicative of older outboard technology. The motor is predominantly colored off-white or cream, showing significant signs of discoloration and yellowing consistent with age and exposure. The cowling, which houses the engine, features the 'Johnson' branding in red lettering on the front upper left side. A prominent black and silver decal with 'V4' is visible on top of the cowling, indicating a 4-cylinder V-engine configuration, which usually signifies a higher horsepower motor. The motor is constructed primarily from metal components, likely aluminum and steel, with plastic or composite elements for the cowling and other covers. Physical characteristics show a long shaft design, suitable for boats with a deeper transom. The propeller, also off-white, is a three-blade design, exhibiting some scuffs and wear along its edges and surface, suggesting prior use. The overall condition reveals considerable wear and tear, including numerous scuff marks, scratches, and areas where the paint has faded or chipped. There are visible dirt and grime accumulations, particularly in recessed areas and seams, which suggests it has been stored for an extended period or used in harsh marine environments. The motor includes a tiller handle for steering, which has a black grip. No specific model number or year is clearly visible, but the aesthetic and 'V4' designation suggest it could be from the 1970s or 1980s. This item is notable for its vintage appearance and the robustness associated with older Johnson outboards. Despite the cosmetic wear, its structural integrity appears intact, though functionality cannot be assessed without further inspection. The motor is currently mounted on a simple wooden stand, which is not part of the item itself but serves as a display or storage fixture.
