    I think it was Yamaha outboards that was the first prop rated horsepower to hit the market. Reliable? I’m on my second 1954 Evinrude Super Fastwin only because I sold the first. Both motors always start & run very well & continue to do so just like my 58 Johnson 18. Never seen another vintage motor idle so well!
