Guest matt Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 Having just become the proud owner of a 1941 Johnson KS-15 ten HP outboard motor I am looking for any info on outboards used by the US military during WWII and the craft they were fitted to. I am also looking for a US assault boat,either wooden or alloy so I can mount said outboard on the correct type of boat :wink:. I did hear that a guy in Holland had built some reproduction plywood assault boats a few years ago,anybody know more about this?? Thanks! Matt.

Karoshi Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 Hi Matt, I have an idea that the D-Day Museum in Southsea has an outboard featured, but in what role I'm not sure. Might be worth a call. It was known as the Seahorse 9.9 I do believe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest matt Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 Hi Karoshi, Thanks for that,and yes that's the same as my motor,Seahorse was the civvy name and on checking it is a 9.9hp. I just need an Assault boat now...! Matt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
