quote Mumbles:
The weight of the gas would be close to six lbs per US gallon plus the weight of the tank and hose. Oil mixed with the gas would make it slightly heavier.
I thought about the oil, but I didn’t think it would change the weight much? For six gallons at 24:1 that’s a quart. Neglected the hose and fittings though.
quote Garry in Tampa:
The 1955 Big Twin model is heavier – 118 pounds. Electric start would add 9 pounds (and the weight of the battery), a long shaft for a 20" transom would add 5 pounds. . . 😀


Excellent info, Garry. I’ll edit the first post.
