Honda 75 and 90 weigh the same.
No brannier for me. The 90

I fish in remote locations and need a kicker not only for fishing, but to get me home should something happen to the main motor.
Everyone's boating is different.

The lighter motor the better.
257 pounds for a 70hp is very hard to beat.

Add a kicker motor?

Here's my prior Montauk:

250 for the 70hp plus a 60 pound kicker is a total of 320 pounds.

The 320 pounds for both motors is the same weight as just the E-Tec 90.
So, I would not have a kicker if I had a 90hp motor.
