I believe it was 1996 then in 97 fict. Evinrudes were dark blue and johnsons were white.

Re: 150- 60 degree

The first 60 degree was introduced in 1991 as a 150 and a 175hp. The first V4 came out in '95. They are still being produced under the Johnson banner for 2005. How is that for longevity?<br /><br />Ocean Pro and Ocean Runner were the Evinrude and Johnson saltwater models respectively. They were all the same motors until '1999 when Evinrude became the hi-tech series and Johnson remained the tradtional series.
