Ultimate outboards for V21

[captpete13]

this is taken directly from the Honda service manual for a BF225. Dry weight WITH propeller:606lbs in xl shaft length. Operating weight (including oil)626lbs in xl shaft length

check the shipping weights on the crate that the motors come in, either those crates weigh hundreds of pounds, or some one is lying. On that Honda, add oil(close to 2 gals I think), oil filter, gear lube and a propeller with hardware, you're getting real close to 100 lbs added weight

I believe the heavy 4 stroke 200/225 honda would be too heavy for the V.
What's it weight ? 700 lbs or more ?

might this put a v20 into orbit? lol

Tad bit heavy, but shockingly I believe it weighs LESS than a 225 HONDA does. Fuel consumption MAY be an issue though. 60 gallons of fuel would only run you for 2 hours of hard play(not WOT though as you would get maybe an hour an a half at WOT with it).

as well as my boat runs with my 115 (90 by today's standards) I can't imagine what 300 would do!

7 Marine has the new 557 hp outboard - weight's approx. 1,000 lbs.

That should push a V20/21 to about........ 70mph until the transom tears off......
