1958 Johnson 18hp as found like new

[@raymondsadowski6080]

Wow! What a find!!!!!

[@sfremgen]

Got a 58 Johnson 18 in the barn. I like the motors that were popular when i was a youngster.

[@jdietz8026]

Scott, that motor is running great!! I thank you for selling it to me. I only take it out to run it a precious few times a year. I want to keep it as original as you found it!! It’s in the same condition as you sold it to me and is a show piece in my living room.😊

[@Mothvibes-p4t]

I BOUGHT ONE TODAY JUST LIKE IT IT LOOKS NEW I haven’t tried to start it or anything yet the guy told me he hasn’t ran it in 4 years I suppose I have it looked at make sure the seals are not dried out

[@jdietz8026]

I would definitely replace the impeller, if your not sure how old it is. After that it’s what’s needed.

[@FairchlldMusic1]

Beautiful little beast!

[@outboardfun3353]

thank you it's a lot of work

[@jacklowe3788]

I grew up running an old 18 till one day hit Anchor line on Grand dad's house boat wide open There flew the motor full throttle in about 15' Saltwater - Scrambled the power head- End of my 18hp days Next motor was 26hp Evinrude & many more since- This motor brings back memories - Sure would like to find one like yours- Thanks for video

[@davidmann4533]

Back in the good old days where there was no Yamaha Honda or Suzuki

[@ddhh6552]

I know this is an old video. Ut that is a beautiful and stylish motor

[@outboardfun3353]

Yes, they are I just got done doing 58 7.5hp got a 5.5hp to do next.

[@pjimmbojimmbo1990]

50 yrs ago we had 3 of them in the shed at the Lake, but they sure didn't look like yours

[@michaelfellini4418]

Really sweet little runner.

[@kentyler966]

Just wondering if you still plan to make a video on rebuilding the transom? I’m very interested. I’ve got a 14’ Mirrocraft and would love to get the bow down a little quicker.

[@outboardfun3353]

[@Mothvibes-p4t]

Garsh I JUST BOUGHT A BOAT TONIGHT WITH THIS EXACT MOTOR I haven’t tried it out yet it has set for four years I don’t know if it runs but I sure do hope it does I’m very impressed thank you for this video If I have any trouble with this one who would you recommend to work on it. ??

[@outboardfun3353]

Not really

[@Mothvibes-p4t]

@@outboardfun3353 Hi Do you still have this one is it still holding up ? Or did you sell it ? Mine looks new inside and out I’m just worried because it sit for so long if it has any dry seals I may need to worry about I don’t know anything about a boat motor in fact this is the first boat I ever bought

[@outboardfun3353]

No I don't have any more. About the only seal I had trouble with was the top crank seal. @@Mothvibes-p4t

[@outboardfun3353]

They are such pretty motors 1958 was a banner year for OMC motor styling. I also like the 1958 Evinrude 18HP as my favorite.I have about 15 of them 1958 18H.P.S Johnsons in my collection and none look like that.I did restore one back in 1996-7 and put it away without decals being the last step after total restoration. Jump forward 23 years just half hour ago I finally put decals on my newly well slightly new old cover I painted back then,LOL.Still looks like the day I painted it as I used good DuPont auto paint. You dont find many clean motors like this one here .All boat motors are saltwater used & there are none allowed to run on our limited amount of freshwater lakes anymore. Very nice motor love these videos ......

[@OutBoardTink62]

Great motor Scott how much did you pay for that motor.Reason being I have a couple of restored 18HP( one each 1957-58HP Johnson 18, & one 1958 18HP Evinrude) and was wondering on a selling price for mine. I was thinking between $600-$800 as my three are restored & I have been collecting for years and just now want to start unloading some of them and others. I have about 30 18HP in my collection .... Thanks Glenn

[@outboardfun3353]

Well I have all my motors for sale right now I getting out of the old motor bus. I would take $700.00 for 18hp 1958. I have a NOS 10hp 1958 I want $1000.00 for. I al;so have like NOS 1955 15hp Evinrude a would take $600.00 for. Plus others for sale all run like new

[@OutBoardTink62]

@@outboardfun3353 Thanks Scott for responding those are good prices considering there condition. I myself too( retired last July) now want to let go of some of mine I have way too many collecting for over 30 years over 100 motors.Why are you getting out of the old motor world???? If I didnt have so many myself I would buy that new old stock 10HP Johnson from you at $1,000 no problem.My two car garage and two sheds are stuffed with vintage motors. I need less than more at this stage.Its crazy here and fun at the same time. Im on Craigslist by the way if anyone wants old 50S,60,70s small motors 2H.P.- 35H.P. motors and parts .....
