[QUOTE="eshaw, post: 452022, member: 22134"] My boat is a 16 foot 50 inch wide flat bottom. I don't if know I'd have to add pods if I went with the Johnson 90. I think from what I've read on these motors that if I removed the lower unit and replaced it with the jet unit that it would probably add even more weight. Supposedly my 90 Johnson weighs in at 319 lbs.. The 40 Yamaha I have on there now weighs 196 and the kicker is another 96 pounds. Thats 292 lbs. and I figure it's almost a wash or close to it. I could shift some weight forward also, like the gas tank for one. Sounds like your boat pushes a good load. I was hoping that maybe you'd have run the 90 on yours. Thanks for the reply! [/QUOTE]
