Yeah, that's a good'un. mmm wonder how my 25 sizes up?
Hopefully BRP will bring back the Johnson some day.

You are replying to a dumb post. Hoping that BRP wwill bring back
Johnson is like hoping GM will bring back Oldsmobile. They already sell
the same product and decided they don't need two wrappers. It's called
consolidation and it makes sense - particularly with today's economy.


The last Evinrude I saw was a Suzuki under an OMC badged cover. Do
they even make engines anymore?



No they don't make them anymore , but in the word's of charley Hesston, (I
think he said this) you can have my Johnson when you pry it from my cold
dead hands, Long live the looper, if you have been left behind then go buy a
Yamaha.... I would like a 90hp 3 cylinder please....

That was a cool video, sent it out to all my buddies

best regards,
