For the power lovers among us...Honda hot news list the release of a new motor... a 15/20 HP that is lighter than their 9.9. Available in power thrust model for sailboats. Power tilt available as well. 101 lbs

http://www.honda-marine.com/15092.htm

For the dink... Yamaha has a new 2.5 4 stroker that looks very good, and has a long shaft available so it can be used as a backup on the sailboat.... 37 lbs.

Or....for the real power lovers among us...how about the Honda 225hp 4 stroke...at $17,400....<gulp>

That 225 is essentially the engine in my Acura, standing on its tail. A boat in a slip near ours has a Honda 90, which is based on the Civic engine--a real dream, compared to the big howling smokers all around it.

So, like, who would want to put an o/b on the stern of a displacement hull c25 with hull speed of 6.4 (or, whatever) when that o/b would effectively have one speed, put it in gear and go hull speed? <img src=icon_smile_clown.gif border=0 align=middle>

BTW, Arlyn, the 101 lbs that they're quoting for the 15/20 may not be less than the 9.9 (or 8). It depends on the shaft length and starter. The 8/9.9 starts at 89 lbs.
