[QUOTE="Redthies, post: 392612, member: 19640"] That's a very generous offer, but since I'm just north of Seattle Wa, I think that might not be too easy to fit in my schedule!:D I'm not a weak guy so I'm not worried about moving the motor around, just figuring if they say 600 lbs max in these 1436 boats (seems to be the average?), every pound counts. I'm just trying to figure out if there is much difference between a 10hp 4 stroke and a 9.9/9.8hp 2 stroke. I think the wife would appreciate the smoke-free Honda, where as I grew up with Johnson and Merc 2 strokes, so a bit of smoke is like a trip down memory lane! It sounds like I'll be less weight loaded than you are so I'm thinking I should be ok in a boat this size. I have the odd bigger lake around, but I'll just be smart about when I go on to the bigger water. Thanks for the info! [/QUOTE]
