They are big heavy honkers. |

They are big heavy honkers. I'd bet between 800 and 900 pounds...just what you need for your pontoon boat! The whole damned boat doesn't weigh much more than that rigged, equipped and wet. |

The Yamaha 300 is about 550 lbs, and the Cox diesel is about 825 lbs. A bit heavier for sure. |

Consider that each of my 300hp DD 6-71's weighs over 3,000 pounds, and a more modern Cummins or Cat weighs well over 1,100 pounds plus transmission and drive train. |

Given the other specs that extra weight wouldn't be a deal breaker, if one had the bucks at about twice the cost of the Yamaha 300. |

Given the other specs that extra weight wouldn't be a deal breaker, if one had the bucks at about twice the cost of the Yamaha 300. As I said it is a niche product, probably for barge pushers and that rare "tender" for a diesel yacht that has a 300 HP motor or two and they don't want a separate fuel supply. I am not sure it will be that attractive for "go fast" center consoles. I do notice that they are hanging outboards on bigger cruising boats like the 42' Freeman Jimmy Buffett just bought. That might be a good fit. |

They are not hanging out over the stern tho and your trawler is not exactly a speed demon |
