[QUOTE="Tbradley, post: 330264, member: 9883"] Anybody else with any info? I'd appreciate all I can get. Talk to Outboard jets in California yesterday, the lady I spoke with (wouldn't put me through to nobody else) said for a 50/35 no more weight than 1200lbs. total. Looks like some of you guys a doing a little bit better than that. Its looking more and more that the 50/35 may be underpowered for me. My load as of now is about 500lbs. just people. Thats me 185lbs, 155 and two boys 150 total. The boys are only going to get bigger. My family always goes out with me, if not them then generally 3 to 4 guys and some misc stuff, so that just ups the weight. I think I'm going to have to scrap this idea of a light weight 2 stroke 50/35 and look for a 60 or 70 2 stroke cheap enough or just get a Merc 60/40 4 stroke and be done with it. The main reason behind the 50/35 was the weight. There is going to be some riffles on the river that I'm going to have to get out and pull the boat up the riffle, thats the main need for keeping the total weight of the boat down, and of course a lighter setup would be sporty if not over loaded.
