I'm looking at 15-25 hp outboard to replace my 9.9. I am wondering about weight. I think my 9.9 weighs about 75 lbs. whereas a 25 is over 100. From hucking around bales of hay I know that that is a huge difference for one (older) man to heft and carry. Does a 15 weigh all that much more than a 9.9? And what about transom weight? Are the bigger motors too heavy for a 14' light aluminum?

The older I get the more I would rather be considered a good man than a good fisherman.
