Hold onto your shorts Its an older Evinrude and I swear it weighs slightly more than the 4hp 4 stroke I have. WOT you better have some serious weight in the bow, but it runs sweet. I have a old 17 foot square stern I am considering shortening up, when done it would be reasonably light and ez to get on off the roof rack.
