[QUOTE="Ray Clark, post: 500228, member: 31103"] Understand; my 40 pound delta between the 6 and the 10 is based on new 4-stroke outboards. The weight capacity listed on the identiplate is the crucial number to your concern over the added weight of the 10 HP outboard. For example, my boat has a maximum capacity (persons, gear, and motor) of 895 pounds; that number is listed on the identiplate. When there are two fisherman and gear in the boat (450 pounds), my boat is very near that max weight. That's because I have added decks (75 pounds), a 3 gal fuel tank (25 pounds when full), trolling motor, fish finder, and two batteries (100 pounds), safety gear and miscellaneous items (25 pounds), 3 seats (75 pounds), and a 20 hp outboard that weighs 125 pounds. If I replaced the 20HP outboard with a 30HP unit, that would add 50 pounds, putting me way over the limit. I'd have to trade off gear to accommodate the mower powerful outboard. [/QUOTE]
