I recently ordered a new outboard motor for my jon boat. It looks like they sent me the wrong motor... by the weight of the thing I believe it is a 2000 hp instead of a 20 hp! I guess a few extra zero's makes a huge difference in the weight. It is supposed to be a 2011 Tohatsu 4-stroke 20 hp, but like I said by the weight it must be a 2000 hp!
My wife asked me if I've put it on the boat yet, I told her that I couldn't even get it into the house, the box was too wide. After trying to recall everything that I knew about physics, I finally got the monster inside. Later, my wife phoned again and asked how it looked? I told her it looked fine... just fine... at least the side I could see laying on the floor. I wasn't sure how I was going to get it out of the box so I thought that maybe instead of taking the motor out of the box... I could take the box off the motor! Brilliant! Just remove everything that wasn't the motor. I finally got the motor and the box separated, but now I needed to get the thing out the door and on the boat. I now wish that I would have upgraded the house when we built it... it would have been swell if I could have just drove the truck and the boat into the house so I wouldn't have to carry that elephant around.
With a little help from my son and the Corp of Engineers, we were successful in lifting the mammoth up on the transom. It didn't look as big on the internet photo, but looking back it wazzz attached to a battleship/aircraft carrier or something. As soon as my muscles rejuvenate, I'm gonna take this thing for a spin and relieve my family from paddling.
