"Sweetest-holo Johnsons loa aku!"
Ua kūʻai ʻia aku ka papa kai ʻo Johnson Seahorse 5.5 a me 7.5 HP ma ke ʻano he motika moku lawaiʻa maoli. Ua kūʻai aku lākou i kēia mau motika e ka hapa nui i nā hale lawaiʻa, nā hoʻomoana, a me nā hōkele ma Wisconsin, Minnesota, a me Kanada kahi a Ralph Evinrude a me nā limahana OMC e makemake ai e hoʻolilo manawa. Kūkulu ʻia kēia mau motika i ka ʻoʻoleʻa, hilinaʻi, noho mālie, a me ka holo mālie. Me kahi pahu kinoea mamao e paʻa pono ka wahie e ʻae ai i ka trolling no ka pike, ke kai trout, a i ʻole walleye i ka lā holoʻokoʻa. Loaʻa iā ia kahi mea koho kia neʻe ma waena o mua, kūlike ʻole a hoʻi i hope. ʻO kēia kaʻa i kū i waena o ka lawaiʻa koʻikoʻi. E hele aku ka poʻe ma ke kūkulu ʻākau no ka huakaʻi lawaiʻa kupaianaha ma kekahi o nā keʻena moe he nui kahi e hiki ai iā lākou ke hoʻolimalima i kahi keʻena a me kahi waʻa no hoʻokahi pule a ʻelua paha a me nā iʻa, ka iʻa, ka iʻa. ʻO ka manawa kūpono kāu moku hoʻolimalima e loaʻa i kekahi o kēia mau motor ʻo Johnson Seahorse nāna e hana i kāna hana a hoʻopuni iā ʻoe i nā loko me ka pilikia ʻole. Ma Wisconsin, aia ia i ka moʻomeheu kūloko i loaʻa i ka poʻe āpau kahi hale kauwela ma kahi o kahi loko. ʻO ka loaʻa ʻana o kahi moku lawaiʻa hull he 14 a i ʻole 16 kapuaʻi aluminika "V" me kahi motika Johnson Seahorse i maʻa mau. Ma nā 50 a me 60's ʻO Jonnson / Evinrude a i ʻole ʻo OMC kahi mamao loa ke alakaʻi mākeke i nā mokulele waʻa waho me Mercury kahi kekona ʻelua. Ke ulu nei ʻo OMC me he pupule lā a ke hāhā nei ka koi no kā lākou mau motika. ʻO Johnson Seahorse kahi inoa a kēlā me kēia kanaka i ʻike ai, hilinaʻi ai, a makemake ai. E kupu ana nā hōʻike waʻa ma nā wahi waena a puni ka ʻāina. ʻO OMC ma kēlā me kēia hōʻike e like me ke kākoʻo nui e kūʻai aku ana i nā mīkini Johnson ma hoʻokahi wahi a me Evinrude i ka aʻe. He poʻe hoʻolaha hoʻolaha maoli ka OMC nāna i hoʻomohala i nā hoʻolaha i holo i Popular Mechanics, Field & Stream, a me nā paʻi waho ʻē aʻe, ʻo ia hoʻi i nā mahina hoʻoilo i mākaukau ʻoe a mākaukau no ka manawa lawaiʻa e hoʻomaka i ka puna. Ma waho aʻe o ka motera lawaiʻa kūpono, nani kēia mau motika Johnson e like me kāu e ʻike ai ma nā hoʻolaha. ʻO nā mīkini i hoʻohana ʻia e nā hale lawaiʻa e ʻōmaʻomaʻo maʻamau, akā ʻo nā mīkini i kūʻai aku ʻia i kēlā me kēia kanaka i kekahi o nā waihoʻoluʻu maikaʻi a me nā hana pena i ʻike ʻia ma ka motika kūwaho. ʻO ia paha no ka kokoke o OMC i ko lākou 50 makahiki.
