Re: 59 Evinrude 18 + 52 Johnson 25 weights?

Thanks for the help, fellas.

Yes, the 18 is a little too much motor but I’m having the transom significantly stiffened this winter and it should be a bat-out-of-hell.

The battery is no concern, I made a battery pack out of a pocket sized auto jump starter, a 12v switch and a starter solenoid from a Ford pickup. It’s small and will start the 18 all weekend with plenty of juice left to spare. It probably weighs 5lbs total. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gEHzaNv0kYw

If it’s only 20lbs-ish heavier, I think I’ll buy it 🙂
