Johnson Vs Evinrude

They all have their pros and cons.
Personally, I like Johnson when the motors are small, up to 20 hp. I like Evinrude for motors up to 50 hp. and I prefer Mercury for anything over 50.
I also like Mariner for larger motors.
That doesn't mean I wouldn't take any of them at any size though.

there are manufacturing codes for motors. they are all excellent and they all have a lemon now & then. the best motor is like the best car...it's the one that serves your needs and your pocketbook. also, the only difference between johnson & evinrude is cosmetic. basically they're the same engine & gearcase. the only poor choice i know of is the Mercury 25hp. avoid it! it's not rebuildable.

There all fairly decent, I can tell you from personal experience though that the Johnson 25hp is very reliable. We use them in bad conditions all the time and very often are not able to perform proper maintenance on them, and we've had four of them for five years.
