1956 Johnson Javelin is finally done!

Post by gjonz »

Here is a link to my blog and my finished Johnson Javelin RJE-18E. I got the chrome back this week and was very happy with the outcome.

Now tomorrow to try it out in a 55 gallon lake!

I AM however looking for the Javelin script on the front, so if any of those guys you dealt with have it, let me know! :)

I would post your needs on the free Webvertize scetion of the AMOCI antique outboard website. That's where I came up with 2 pair of new-old-stock Javelin logos for my RJE-18.

Good luck!
