Reivertom,
I too like the green motors. I remember when I was little & seeing them around on the lake…somewhere in Michigan. According to another member there was two shades of green in the early years. I think my gearcase is for a 18hp or less motor. I’m all stocked up with my 58, 18hp, 57 7.5hp & a very nice 57 3hp Johnson. All I need is a 10hp & the 54 15hp I have too, but it is an Evinrude!!!

Yea, unfortunately you will have to get a ’56 or later, to get the Johnson styling. 😀
I think it would be funny to restore a ’56 with the Seahorse Green paint. It’ll make a good "sleeper" motor.
