" We have a 1964 with a Johnso

" We have a 1964 with a Johnson 75H.P sea horse. We have had it to the shop many times and still not fixed. Had a complete tune-up and this last time thought that everything was ok. Picked up speed, although something wrong in the shifter, as time went on the boat started to surge and miss. If you open the door on the hood the boat picked up speed slowly. The repair shop said that it was maybe a exhaust leak from the bottom. Is there something that we can do to check? Have $2100.00 invested in this old girl already and only been on the lake three times. Husband wants to torch it, I want to save its life... Please help "
 
" I have a 2000 johnson 50 hp

" I have a 2000 johnson 50 hp that is doing the same thing.I talked to a boat man and he told me that I had a leak in my exhaust system and would need a new gasket.The exhaust puts pressure back on the motor.My engine runs fine if I take the cover off.when I put it back on it will not run,it boggs down. Thats all I know and mine is not fixed yet. "
