Hi All,

I was wondering what is the largest 4 stroke outboard (in CA) that I can
put
in the back of my pickup and then move a few feet to mount on my boat.



You should have an idea of how much weight is your limit, but keep in mind
that there will be several situations that you have to deal with.

Most people would be able to "lift" a lot more than they could "carry".
If
you just need to lift it from the bed of the truck to a wagon on the
ground
then you can go with something a lot heavier.

He should also consider that if he's car-topping, he's probably going to be
in places where the wheels of a wagon may sink right into the sand. And, if
the motor's transported on its side, it may end up with quite a bit of gas
residue all over it. That's just the thing you want to smell like for an
entire day of fishing.
