JOHNSON 3 H.P. "Fisherman"

Purchased from the original owner in who's lakefront boathouse the engine was stored, unused, for the past 52 years. I was told that the engine has about 3 hour running time on it which, judging from it's condition is completely believable.The pictures really tell the story; the engine is, for all purposes, brand new. It was used by the owners son during the Summer of 1963 and from then on it sat with a cover on it in the heated boathouse. I had a Johnson-Evinrude certified mechanic thoroughly check out and test run the engine this past July and it was pronounced "perfect". Theonly flaw we could find is a nickel size paint"rub" on the tank section of the cowling which could be very easily repaired with the correct Johnson white spray paint. I cannot imagine there is a cleaner small Johnson motor in existence. It would be perfect as an auxiliary engine for a restored classic small sailboat or guide-boat.Regarding shipping, I have no idea what it would cost to ship the motor. It weighs about 35 pounds and would require a carton measuring approximately 36" x 18" x 22". I could hold the engine for buyer pick-up until no later than December 29th.It really is a little treasure, the likes of which you will likely never find again.
