Johnson was working on the idea of matched boats and motors before 1930. They had a “prototype” in 1927 that was called an Aquaflyer. The motor had a large disk instead of clamps that attached the motor into the well. The attached pics are of the restored boat, belonging to a friend. I think the model number of the motor was something like P?-35. I took the pics on a test cruise on Canandaigua Lake in New York after the owner mounted the motor after purchasing it from Canada.
