Chrysler dropped Plymouth, and GM dropped Oldsmobile, I've often
wondered why they kept the Johnson, or Evinrude name around for so
long, seeing FAIK they were the same engines with different cowling.

Because, it is probably hard on you when you lose your Johnson.

Exactly, that would be alot worse than losing your Evinrude!
