This is a 1956 JOHNSON 15hp. In one source the colour is refered to as Dupli-Colour Cayenne Red, #EDSGM479. Available as a spray Can Enamel.

In 1957 it was refered to as Holiday Bronze. PPG (Ditzler), Holiday Bronze #21524. Mix at auto paint store. Acrylic Lacquer.

Here is a picture taken from the 1956 brochure. Click on the picture for the complete brochure. These brochures are being digitized & will be available shortly on CD as JPEG and Adobe pdf files together with almost all of the JOHNSON, EVINRUDE OMC range.

thanks much for the info.... brochure (pic) is beautiful

I will start hunting down that color as soon as I can try this engine out in the Spring. Based on what I see I think it will be a good runner

I went cheap and modified the engine to run on a Mikuni pump. I am just annoyed at BRP selling there fuel pumps at 90$ plus taxes ...
