Johnson 5 1/2 HP- What years were they made?

[Rick.]

Have an opportunity to buy one sight unseen. The picture shows a white cowl and a whine colored lower unit. Just wondering what years they were made. Thanks, Rick.

That one is most likely a 56 - 58 model. 58, was mostly white on the cowl, so that sounds like the year you're talking about. The 5.5 was built from 1954 - 64. Excellent motors too. I have three 1955 Johnsons and a 58 Evinrude in my collection.
