The Outboard Expert Sees Phase Out of Johnson Engines

The Johnson brand of outboards has been around since the dawn of time, or at least the dawn of outboard engines. But it looks like the venerable family of outboard engines is on its way to extinction. BRP, which purchased the Johnson and Evinrude outboard engine lines several years ago from OMC before the company closed its doors, has focused the bulk of its attention on the Evinrude E-Tec series. When the last Johnson outboards are gone from inventory, and there aren't many left, that will be, literally and figuratively, the end of the line.
