Remember the Johnson Seahorse engines from the late 1950's?
Factory rep / dealer not too incognito?

Seahorse was my "handle" since the mid '60's when CB was just getting popular, plus I like outboards.

Now I fly through the Internet spreading "Truth, Justice, and the American Way !" 8)

Nice boat!

Yup, that's one of the Seahorse Classics!

Brings back some old memories!

Can you believe it's been 50 years?

Where did they all go?

Just picked up the boat yesterday from EQ with the new 60 ETEC installed. I'm in LOVE!!!! Got the first run on it and it was the perfect choice for this boat. with a 17 pitch prop and moderatly light load she did a little better that 34mph @ 5500 rpm. Les thought that his first guess on prop might be a bit steep but better too steep than too shallow. We switched it out for a 15 pitch after the run. Should be able to hit 5900 @ WOT now and a bit faster. (like I need to go any faster in this thing) didn't write down exact fuel flow figures but roughly 6mpg @ WOT. Very very cool. can't wait to get her on the water again this weekend.

Norm...another 500 rpm with differant prop..... you better get your flying out of your systems when wearing the blue uniform.... but, yep, I think the next prop should be better...particuarly when loaded a bit heavier. Over 30 on that flat bottom is fast.... must be some smooth water I hope or you will bruise your beer. :beer
