[QUOTE="lgpjr49, post: 478845, member: 13962"] I have a new war eagle 542 on order and was looking into what outboard to install on it. I like the new Tohatsu 25, but it weighs close to 180lbs (electric start, pt&t, long shift model) add battery and breakaway plate closer to 225lbs for motor & accessories. How much is to much weight for an outboard? I see everyone talk about the 2 strokes being lighter and I'm sure that helps with load and speed, but at what point is an outboard just to heavy. New to the bigger outboards after I sold my last boat with a 9.9hp. Any advice or knowledge on this would be greatly appreciated.
