A question of weight - 225 Etec´s too much?

[reelapeelin]

Guys, mine is 20" shaft and weighs 217kg or 478lbs...dependin' on shaft length, the 225 E-Tec is 234kg/516lbs for short shaft...238kg/524lbs for a 25" shaft, so question now is what transom height is the '88 you have?

I THINK I remember seein' the Max HP rating on that hull as being 235 or so...that leads me to ask what did an Evinrude 235 in 1988 weigh?...my BIL has one of that vintage and it's a BIG motor, but I don't know if it's the same block as Skool's 225s or not...hey Skools...whassat 225 weigh?...

Stay with us, Anders...we'll get ya an answer... ;) ...here's the good news...if yer gettin' a really good price on it and it turns out to be TOO heavy, you can sell it and MAKE a few bucks :D ...
