    Strolling through a small village, I saw a derelict small speedboat standing in a garden. The outboard engine was 15-25 hp size, dirty white and carried the name Johanson on the cover in faint red.
    Has there ever been a manufacturer with that name, did Johnson start as Johanson, or is it just a prank?

    Hi CDK,

    :idea:

    spotted your post and got curious about Johanson engine, I found a boat yard in Maine which services and restores. They explain that they are involved in special projects too. Have a look at http://www.jboatworks.com/index.html

    Hope this helps.
