Weight.
Very accurate numbers given. The other alternative is a 4 stroke and for a 175 that number goes up to a ball busting, not going there, approximately 500 pounds approx. The 175 etec two stroke seems to me to be a fair compromise on power and performance with weight. It will use less fuel than the 1977 V4 two stroke would have used. I have decided to keep the two 20 gallon side saddle tanks and just carry a couple of 6 gallon spare tanks I can siphon into them for longer days until I know its usage pattern when it is done and ready to use. Still despite springlike days too early for boating here for me. April and late March will be different stories. 26F here this morning but wee had two days of 70 plus with that coming again..very much above normal temps at times but winter is not quite done here yet.
