    Well Mr Opposed the ’51/’52 fasttwin were the “not so fast” fasttwin.  I have one of those.  I think it’s main claim to fame was its gear shift.  The gearcase was shared with Johnson for the first time.   The ’53/’54 fasttwin was a big improvement.  Still not as fast as a Mercury but better than the 14s.  The 15 had the throttle and the timing synchronized.  These 15 were the start of some great running motors IMHO!  I have two of those.   This power head was used well into the 70s.
