[QUOTE="maddog, post: 381182, member: 8022"] Thank you very much for the suggestion. Just looked that motor up. Wow, that would be really nice! supposedly around 40lbs. Not too bad, I am ~180 so 40lbs. of motor in the back isn't bad. The 2.5 yamaha is 38 dry, probably over 40 with gas/oil etc... The deluxe has a remote tank so the gas weight would be not on the transom. I didn't know any of the small outboards came with reverse. I will keep my eye out for one of those as well. I hear the weedless foot really works well on the older johnson-rudes. I have one of the Mac's river runner prop protectors I bought in the cabelas bargain cave several years ago just because it was so cheap, maybe that would have a similar effect as the weedless foot in the shallows? I have no idea, maybe it would make traversing weeds even worse. [/QUOTE]
