[QUOTE="Weldorthemagnificent, post: 462545, member: 22139"] For the old motors, I'm a johnnyrude guy. I believe anything brand new is good if taken care of. I like the Tohatsu motors for small outboards. They have both 4 stroke and a direct injected 2 stroke at just over 200lbs. With power tilt and trim. The lightest 40's ever made I believe are the Tohatsu) Nissan M40c at about 140 and the 2 cylinder Yamaha/Mariner at about 160. Neither has power tilt or trim. If I ever swap my 35 Johnson it would be for one if those two motors. Anything else is too much weight for my application. I believe you are in the same boat haha. With that jury rigged transom I would be reticent to hang a lot of weight on it.no disrespect intended. I would definitely do a weight test in the water before buying or selling or turning any wrenches. Sent from my CLT-L04 using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
