Facts about Evinrude/Johnson racing outboards made my OMC

Have a little Honda 2000 generator. Uses only 1/2 gallon of gas & runs for hours, hardly ever need to change the oil, quiet as heck, and light as a feather. Worth every penny. Two jugs of REC 90 & I'm good to go.

Those look like Suzuki's Lars. Counter-rotated for better performance on that race ship.

My storm fuel supply is the 45 gallons in my boat tank and a couple of 5 gallon cans. I just connect a hose to the primer bulb and siphon away.

Watching the weather channels is good entertainment seeing all the last minute minions lined up at Home Depot or gas stations. I keep a constant 90 gallon back-up supply of fuel at home in my welded aluminum Petty tanks (with wheels) leftover from Havasu and Parker.

That is truly hilarious. Should generate a string of pirate jokes.

At first glance they looked like the Evinrude and Johnsons that BRP Bombardier was selling in the 2000's. They were some of the best running 4-strokes on the market back then. BRP bought them all from Suzuki. 4 cylinders and 6 cylinders & more.

First, the Evinrude in your picture is not made by Suzuki. I think it is model year 2003 and its a 60 degree V4 2 stroke carb model.
Yes, some years OMC/BRP purchased Suzuki with Johnson stickers. Over 10 years ago.
Mercury did the same thing. This 2005 Merc V6 is 100% made by Yamaha painted black.

Well..one more thing. Today's Merc up to 25/30HP are 100% Tohatsu painted black and Evinrude up to 15 HP is also made by Tohatsu.
I have never been a friend of buying outboards from your competition

yes, these must of been the Suzuki white Evinrudes and Johnsons that BRP was selling.

If not, do you have any photo's of them? Friend has a pair, still running great.

Well..the 2004 Johnson motors in your picture are made by BRP. 2 stroke V6 engines. 60 degree.
