O.K. I am trying to be polite. I checked and the 115 hp etech 2 stroke 20 inch is 374 lbs. Sounds too heavy for the 16' 7" in my humble opinion. Are poster allowed an opinion without others heaping scorn on them? I certainly hope so or what sort of community is this? I had expected that this site had some more civility. Would you please go back and look at my original post carefully. All I was asking for was some info as to when the weight was too much for a Whaler. Tom had a perfectly good answer and I thanked him for that. Why is there relentless pestering concerning such a simple question? Please lighten up.
