BRP bought EVINRUDE and pretty well dropped the JOHNSON name. Around 98 most all JOHNSON's went to 4 strokes, and around 01 I believe the last JOHNSON's came out in 2 strokes. It looks like an early 98-early 01 to me from the cowling, AKA FICHT engine. Starting in 01 they redesigned the bigger FICHTS and made them ALOT better, but this one looks like an earlier model.

If one hull catches before the other they tend to hook and go that way throwing you, and when the other hull does catch you get thrown back the other way. My dad lost one of his favorite polls fishing with some guys on a cat because of this. Every rod in the top holders got thrown over when the one hull caught and threw them, and when the other one caught it threw all of them almost out of the boat. This was on a slightly choppy day in the GULF, and nothing compared to what you guys in the atlantic have to deal with. After hearing about this one first hand, my dad never went back out with those guys, and I never had the urge to go and try it out for myself.

I have several... Lost one last month to old age, but still have 4 that hang around. I love dogs, but cats are great also.
