Use to have one when I was 14 years old in Björknäs, Sweden. Special 5.5 HP engine..(was not legal, you could one have 1HP) but made the ride much more fun..https://static.xx.fbcdn.net/images/e...5/16/1f603.pnghttps://static.xx.fbcdn.net/images/e....5/16/2764.pnghttps://static.xx.fbcdn.net/images/e...f1f8_1f1ea.png

First Company to produce FIVE MILLION OUTBOARDS – History was made in 1978 when Johnson Motors produced their five-millionth outboard - coinciding with the introduction of the new 235 hp V-6 Sea-Horse, the world’s most powerful production outboard at that time. That year also saw the introduction of a 150 hp V6 that joined the 200 and 175 in the V6 line-up.
While it took 31 years for Johnson to reach the one-million motor mark as noted in a previous post (1922 – 1953) and leading the industry at that point, it only took 25 years (1953 – 1978) to produce 4 million additional outboards – an indication of just how fast, and large, the outboard market had grown during those years. As it did in 1953 when it hit one-million in sales, Johnson could again claim: World’s Largest Manufacturers of Outboard motors.
The Catalog Cover - WE GOT LETTERS – Typically, you feel blessed if someone says, ”nice catalog cover.” In this case, however, we got dozens of letters. Gorgeous! Beautiful! Fantastic! WOW! Apparently, however, they weren’t referring to the outboard since they also asked: What’s her name? What’s her phone number? Where does she live? Oh well, it was a… ‘nice cover.’

Clay Conover was one of the last of the Johnson Family to work for OMC. He designed the first shiftable gearcase and lots of other things.
Will they have water in the lake for Havasu?

Plenty of water. Actually, the lake is sitting near the full point at 448.42' currently, with a full pool value of 450'. It has to be maintained between 445-450', so there is always plenty, but I'll get a picture for you this weekend if you require. :)Quote:
