Author Topic:   Newer 140-HP Johnson

contender posted 09-10-2008 10:23 PM ET (US)
I was watching a new program on the History Channel today at 8 p.m. The program was on Giant Squids in the Sea of Cortez; this was a new program. Anyway one of the boats in the program had NEW 140 Johnson. I could clearly see it, it was at least a high 1990's model or early 2000. Only got a quick look at the engine but it looked like it was V4 E-TEC. Does anyone know of this line of engines, and was it made only for export?

According to their website, there aren't any recent model 140-HP Johnson-branded outboard motors.

The Johnson 140 four stroke (made by Suzuki) was sold as recently as the 2006 model year.

Correction: 2005 model year.

Model year 2005 sounds about right for the History Channel.

In Australia they sold it to the 2006 model year.

If you check the BRP international websites, you will see they only make 4 stroke outboards from 2.5 to 25 horsepower, yet they show pictures of boats with big motors on them at least 90 and up. I guess they are going through some changes. Keeping the Suzuki 4 strokes? Or going all E-tec? We'll see what the future holds.

Guys,
You know this motor as the Johnzuki. Excellent motors.

In around 93 OMC dropped the 120 and 140 Loopers and just made a 130hp. This was true until they eliminated it in the early 2000's and picked up the Suzuki 140 4 stroke around 2002/3-2006. They sold all the Suzuki line from 30hp? to 225hp until they went away after 2006 or so.
