Did Evinrude or Johnson build a 20 hp 2 stroke jet outboard? Does anyone have any experience with one if they did?
I know Mercury built one and was wondering if anyone else did. Thanks Todd
 
Evinrude/Johnson made a 18hp jet during the 90s. I believe it was a 25hp(carb) powerhead with a jet lower unit. I've seen I guy with one on the river I fish.

I run pretty much the same thing as that motor though, a 1985 Evinrude 30hp thats been converted to a jet. I love mine, but mostly cause I've always owned/worked on 2 stroke johnsons...
 
That was the motor I was thinking of. My boat is rated for 25 hp max and the motor weight of 150 lbs. Mercury's 25 HP 4 stroke is too heavy. I also want to fish a couple of 20 HP max. limited lakes. I mostly fish the Allegheny and Kiski Rivers and would like to have a Jet. When I'm ready to switch motors I'll start looking for the Evinrude or Mercury 2 stroke Jets. Thanks for the reply Todd
