you’re a fool for giving a sentence like that away; you probably could have gotten paid at least a $100,000 for developing that sentence for the right company ...

Translated...
We’re trying to figure out a way to build a boat motor even though we haven’t got a clue about how.

I lived on the Detroit River for many years, with many ducklings rescued from raccoon raids or other causes, joining the household. Didn’t name any “Johnson” but an old friend and I used to have Johnson-Evinrude wars. Yeah..same difference...

A statement worthy of Dilbert’s PHB.

Evinrude/Johnson motors are used world wide more than any other brand.I don’t care if it is a 70 year old 1950’s model, parts are still inventoried and can be found, not true of other brands.

I remember going out on the water with my Dad’s green and gold Scott Atwater. Then later his black and white West Bend. Both extinct. The 18 HP Johnson I mentioned was his and it powered his pontoon for many many years.

The Johnson was by far the most reliable.

Growing up in the 1960s we were Johnson and Evinrude people. The only ones using Mercs were those little hydroplanes and speed demons.

Still have my 1974 15 horse Evinrude outboard. I love the low profile the thing has, easy to look over the top of it.

agreed... NO Mercs for us either, they NEVER could idle without dying... Johnson 70hp just purred at idle for hours without a stutter. Mercs for speed, Johnson’s for dependability.
