Anyone know where I can get a set of decals for a 57 Johnson 35hp??
Thanks for your help-

Jim -

Severaal years ago I restored a 1968 Johnson 9.5 fishing motor...the decals were in bad shape and the cowl needed to be repainted. If your Johnson has any remnants of its original decals, take the cowl to a vinyl graphic sign shop.
They can "scan" the originals and recreate anything you need in vinyl. If you want the decals to last, I would suggest clear-coating with clear Imron (multiple LIGHT coats........don't heap it on!)......what I ended up with was better than the factory originally did (right down to the little Johnson "Seahorse" on the back side).

Jim, There's a guy that lists them in the magizine I get from AOMCI. His list state the he has repo decals for 1922 thru 1958 johnsons. I don't know anything about him but His adds are always in there. His web address is www.americanoutboard.com he's located in Cordova,Md. and he takes paypal. ;)
