What is the heaviest motor you'd put on a Grumman 19 or Osage 17?

[Alaska Bush Hunter]

My 87lb Mercury 9.9HP and 250lb man and no load up front to balance it out makes the stern deep in the water on my 19’ with lift. But if I have a heavy load like moose or camping gear / extra fuel and whatever I can place toward the bow makes it much better. KK Alaska has the motor 8 HP Yamaha @ 58lbs which is about the perfect weight to power for the 19’ not too heavy and enough of power a perfect balance.

In my shed I have two of those OMC 15HP 2 stroke outboards. They have low hours but have not been run in years. I hope to get through this snow in the spring and will off those motors for sale at a reasonable price.

what ever you get try to stay below 90 LBS [15 hp old omc ] but did run a 4 cycle 15 hp onc for a couple of years
[ 120 lbs I think ] the more weight in the motor the more weight in the bow to balance it out ,

The only 15HP that’s below 90lbs is the Yamaha 2 Stroke 15” I know of.
My current 9.9 Hp Merc is very close to that 90lbs.
For the ease of installing and taking off I would like to find a 8HP Yamaha 2 Stoke at 58 pounds.

That sounds like a great deal! I'm sure these motors will be in great condition and be a great purchase for someone who is looking for a good outboard motor. Good luck with the sale!

Hey katkayes, which do you think was the more ridiculous and worthless invention; the Bass-O-Matic, or the chat bot?

Great condition for 1984 model and fired up on first pull.

The 15HP that’s below 90lbs is the Yamaha 2 Stroke 15” and Johnson 15HP.
My current 9.9 Hp Merc is very close to that 90lbs.
For the ease of installing and taking off I would like to find a 8HP Yamaha 2 Stoke at 58 pounds. The Johnson 15HP 2 stroke is 73 Lbs Standard Length.
