Yamaha 115 question

[pekinboy05]

Thinking about buying a 1987 Yamaha 115. Does anyone know the weight of the motor? also, I have a 1983 Duracraft(aluminum), 18 foot, 60 inches across the bottom. Think it's enough boat to hold that motor? thanks alot

Model 1987 115ETLH
Horsepower 115
Dry Weight (kg) 152 (lbs) 342
Starting System Electric

Your Duracraft should have a capacity plate which will tell you the maximum horsepower and motor weight for the vessel. If not, then have a look at the link below. If this is the same or similar boat as yours then you can see the answer in the pictures.

If the 87 YAMAHA has been anywhere close to salt water, pass on it. If you ever have to turn a wrench on it, you will get quite a lot of experience with broken bolt, broken drill bit and easy outs. Older MERCS and OMCs seem to have better grade hardware. FRED
