Re: 23 CC Power Opinions
Ok, lets see if we can clear up this weight issue, both motor weights are directly from the website with a 25" shaft legnth and do not include the extra rigging parts(oil reserve, batts, steering and etc.).
E-Tec 150/175 427lbs
Yamaha 4 stroke 150 466lbs +39lbs
E-Tec 200/225 524lbs
Yamaha 4 Stroke 200/225 583lbs +59lbs
E-Tec 250 524lbs
Yamaha 4 stroke 250 603lbs +79lbs
These weight differences are really not that far apart if they are accurate since they are all 20 lbs apart. Lets say you hang twin 200 4 stroke, most likely it will be on a bracket and you'd be looking at 120 extra lbs 3 feet from your tansom. The bracket will off set the weight plus add more floatation because their full of foam and water tight(until you let your wife drive under the seven mile bridge). With that said I will be adding a seamark bracket, 2-200 4 stroke yams, enclosed transom w/live well, batts under center console, dry storage(life jackets, throw cushion, fenders)in stern on my tsunami23 open fish(Tsunami Inc.), as soon as I get some christmas money, that is.
