Default Re: Time to get moving

The 130 is the same block as the 115, so should be about same weight, I think around 375 lbs.

As far as the horsepower "sandbagging" is concerned, this is just my opinion, but I suspect it's related to HP/cu. in., ie., more sandbagging on the more conservatively rated motors. On the 155 cu. in. V-6 block, it's rated at 150, 175, and 200 hp, or .97, 1.13, and 1.29 hp/cu. in., respectively. BRP's brochure indicates they've down rated the "150" by the full 10% allowed (It's really a 165). I'd figure they 175 is down rated by about 5%, which would make it about 180-185, while the 200 is probably right about 200. The 105 cu. in 115 V-4 is 1.095 hp/cu in and the 130 is about 1.24, so I'd guess that the "115" is really about 120-125 and the "130" is maybe 135 at most.
