Built in 1982 according to several website. My sea-horse serial number is only about 100 serial numbers from yours... in the same batch.
1972 from the "-72" part of the model number. It's a Johnson Seahorse.
The Johnson Seahorse outboard motor Model 9R-70C was manufactured in 1970. The "R" in the model designation indicates it is a 9 horsepower, and the "70" refers to the year of production. This model is part of the Johnson Seahorse series, which were popular for their reliability and performance during that era.

I have a 6 hp Johnson seahorse outboard and I was told to run it at 40:1 and have done so for ages and runs fine.
The Johnson Seahorse 24 model PR 50 with serial number 148440 is likely from the early 1960s. Johnson outboard motors, including the Seahorse series, were produced in that era, and the PR 50 model was commonly manufactured around 1961-1962. To determine the exact year, you may want to consult Johnson's production records or an outboard motor reference guide that includes serial number breakdowns.
It is a 1957
50:1 is what I use
75 to 400 dollars depending on condition.
