🔍 Model Background

The Evinrude Johnson 100 HP Outboard (1979–1981) represented a transitional era in outboard engineering, offering reliable two-stroke performance in a manageable V4 package. Positioned just below the 115 HP models, this outboard provided a balance of power, efficiency, and versatility for a variety of recreational boating applications.

Powered by a 1.6-liter (99.6 cu in) V4 crossflow two-stroke engine, the 100 HP model delivered strong acceleration, excellent midrange power, and simple mechanical operation. It featured dual carburetors, CD ignition, and a mechanical fuel system, providing dependable starts and smooth throttle response without the complexity of modern electronics.

Built with a rugged lower unit and stainless steel driveshaft, the motor was designed for longevity and could be configured with power trim and tilt, electric start, and remote controls. Its relatively light weight and compact dimensions made it suitable for mid-sized boats including fishing vessels, ski boats, and runabouts.

While lacking modern emissions systems or fuel injection, the 100 HP outboard earned a reputation for ease of maintenance and solid performance. It remains popular among vintage boat enthusiasts due to its straightforward design and abundant parts availability.

This model was eventually phased out in favor of more refined offerings, but during its production run, it provided a strong and simple option for boaters seeking dependable horsepower in a proven V4 layout.
