    I just ran across a reference to 150 someplace. I expect to buy it. In spring of 1959 my Dad and I went to Boston, turned in our 1953 Johnson 10 HP, and brought home a brand new 1958 Johnson 18 HP (same basic motor as the 57 Evinrude). Right out of the crate and started in the test tank. We put it on the 12 ft. rear steer aluminum runabout, At wide open you had to watch what you were doing. Wonderful!
