The Johnson dealer, my father's friend, did have a competitive

I didn't know that Walter Kennedy owned a marine dealership or an
arena.

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.

That's nothing, Don is stowing his Johnson in his shed this fall and
winter. I hope he winterized it.....

My high powered Johnson is always revved up and ready to go. A little cool
weather doesn't stop, it as it warms up to the task very quickly and can
stay in action a very long time without overheating..
