Description: **Johnson Motors, founded in 1903 by four brothers in Terre Haute, Indiana, became a pioneer in outboard engine innovation.** Beginning with 2-cycle inboard engines, the company quickly expanded, unveiling the first lightweight aluminum outboard in 1922—a game-changer in marine technology. By the mid-1920s, Johnson dominated the outboard market. Their 1952 launch of the Seahorse series, featuring reliable 3 to 25 HP 2-stroke motors, cemented their reputation among fishermen for smooth, low-speed trolling performance.
