[QUOTE="richg99, post: 176760, member: 4376"] I don't know the answer...but...I did look up the weights of the various motors. It appears that the weight difference is around 50 lbs, depending on the exact model. The battery and the fuel tank should weigh in around those numbers. Moving them forward would do a lot to offset the weight difference. Rich p.s. Battery should be around 50 lbs and fuel weighs approximately 8 lbs. per gallon. *********************from the 'net ************************************** The dry weight of a 50 hp Yamaha outboard of the 2 stroke variety is 158 - 187 lbs, depending on the particular model. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ From the Boston Whaler site ContinousWave...a GREAT source of information, incidentally. ********************************************************* The following are typical OMC motors and weights found on classic Whalers. Weights taken from the 1992 Evinrude catalog. 2 cylinder, 521 cc platform, 20/25/30/35 HP 15 inch shaft, rope start -- 115 lbs 15 inch shaft, elec. start -- 118 lbs 20 inch shaft, rope start -- 117 lbs 20 inch shaft, elec. start -- 120 lbs [/QUOTE]
