What is the weight difference? Been moving some of my junk around, and an old 10hp Johnson I have is pretty damn heavy.

So it is plastic or composite?

Yeah, that was a REAL one!
He sure came up peacefully.
Someone may have pooped their pants a little.

The 15 isn't bad, about 70lbs. My 7.5 rude is 67lbs. The new merc 5hp I bought with it is 57lbs. Amazing how these four strokes are as heavy as an oldie that's 3x the hp.
Hull is polyethylene 1pc molded.

Took the wife out on monday, held our fishing poles, drinks, and gear. Had to throw the 5hp yami on just because the lack of smoke from the 4 stroke was making me homesick...haha
