The suzuki 4stroke 140 is 410lb, the Evinrude 135/150 is 419lb

...and how much does the Yamaha F225, Honda 225, and the Merc Verado

weigh compared to the Evinrude V6?

Now Bill, I was just refuting your generalization that the Bombardier
motors were lighter than 4 strokes. And I don't have the motor guide
out of bass and walleye boats handy.
The Yamaha 115 and merc version also aren't much heavier than my 115
carb'd two stroke as I recall.
And why should I want a V6 Evinrude instead of a 4cyl Suzuki? What's
the big deal with the V6? Cars used them (4 stroke of course) because
they reused much of the tooling and parts for the V8s that already
existed. And apparently 2 stroke inline 4s have issues leading to
bizarre solutions like the 2+2 on my Merc. But the 4 in my accord is
just peachy, as is the one in my CB750.
So, what is superior about the Evinrude 135/150 as compared to the
Suzuki ?
Ok looked up the yamaha. The 200/225/250 are 580-590 lb. The 150 is
466 lb.
So looks like maybe 50 lb over the Evinrude. Is 50 lb a big deal?
What is the relative selling price?
If I was shopping I would buy a 4 stroke at this point in time.

Del,
My "gerneralization" on wieght was meant for engines with the same number
of cylinders, mostly the popular 200hp range and higher. The midrange motors
70-175 are a mix of 3,4, and 6 cylinders and can't be compared that way.
What year CB750? I had a CB750 K2 that I rode for 27 years, even when I had
Harleys, too. Sold all kinds of parts, hop-up stuff, repair kits, etc. on
Ebay last summer. I couldn't believe the prices the people paid and the
interest in those old bikes.
Your other post mentioned information dribbling out about DFI motors, all
that is open knowledge in boating magazines, Internet forums, Industtry
publications, Industry news sources, etc. Ask away if you have any specific
questions, you know my credentials and credibilty after all these years.

So what you really mean Bill is it's just more deceptive spruiking from
the very same dealer (& most other OMC dealers) who told & continue to
tell all sorts of BS about Ficht???
The E-Tec is nothing more than the latest in a long line of set
marketing BS that "Ficht is all fixed now", which you've deceptively
spammed this NG with for years. It's totally unproven & will go the same
way it did when you actually called it Ficht; under.
K
Krause's lie of the day is a bit of a double header sorry, but so many
lies so little time:-)
Whenever his total lack of any real boating knowledge looks like
uncovering him as the sad little liar he is, he posts some crazy list of
boats he claims are his base, here are just a few of his claims, he has
tried to sustain these lies & as each one is shown to be a fabrication
he just invents a new one, the latest is the "Parker".
Don't feel conned nor stupid if you've been taken in by him, he make
exactly the same lies up in the jet ski NGs when he used to pollute them
with his crap, can you believe it he claimed to be a jet skier!!!!!
(responsible & caring in the socialist way of course:-))
This idiot has never owned a boat & never will he is totally devoid of
any boating experience nor knowledge, other than what he picks up in
this NG & the occasional paid charter fishing trip.
Here are some:
Hatteras 43' sportfish
Swan 41' racing/cruising sloop
Morgan 33
O'Day 30
Cruisers, Inc., Mackinac 22
Century Coronado
Bill Luders 16, as sweet a sailboat as ever caught a breeze.
Century 19' wood lapstrake with side wheel steering
Cruisers, Inc. 18' and 16' wood lapstrakes
Wolverines. Molded plywood. Gorgeous. Several. 14,15,17 footers
with various
Evinrudes
Lighting class sailboat
Botved Coronet with twin 50 hp Evinrudes. Interesting boat.
Aristocraft (a piece of junk...13', fast, held together with spit)
Alcort Sunfish
Ancarrow Marine Aquiflyer. 22' footer with two Caddy Crusaders.
Guaranteed 60 mph. In the late 1950's.
Skimmar brand skiff
Arkansas Traveler fiberglass bowrider (I think it was a bowrider)
Dyer Dhow
Su-Mark round bilge runabout, fiberglass
Penn Yan runabouts. Wood.
Old Town wood and canvas canoe
Old Town sailing canoe...different than above canoe
I own the following boats:
a 36' "lobster" style boat
a 19' center console fishing boat
an 11' inflatable dinghy
1/2 of a canoe
Those are the types of boats I currently own. I'm also in the market for
some interesting kind of lightweight flatbottomed skiff, similar to the
old Skimmar, for the "new" 51-year-old 10 hp outboard I recently bought.
One of the boats is kept on dry land within a half mile of Chesapeake
Bay. One is kept at a private covered boat dock in a little creek off
Chesapeake Bay. One is kept in the backyard of a friend who lives much
closer to the Shenandoah River than I do. And one is kept next to the
36-footer."
