Technical Comparison Analysis

Power & Displacement

Comparing the Evinrude 115hp Crossflow V4 and Johnson 110hp Crossflow V4 shows a displacement difference of 132cc. The Johnson features a larger 1632cc block, which typically provides superior low-end torque and better hole-shot performance when pushing heavy loads or reaching planning speeds.

Weight & Rigging

In terms of transom weight, the Johnson is the lighter option at 138kg, offering a weight saving of 0kg over its competitor. This weight reduction is critical for smaller hulls or boats with limited transom capacity where every kilogram affects the center of gravity and drainage efficiency.

Electrical & Features

For boats equipped with modern electronics, sonar, and shallow-water anchors, the Johnson offers the best charging performance with a 126W alternator. Choosing the right power-to-weight profile between these two 2-stroke engines depends heavily on your specific boat's displacement and daily power requirements.
