This was one of my first thoughts. The outboard weighs 50lbs, and then there is another 60lbs of lifepo4 battery and a little 32ah agm in the lazarette. The electric motor and battery is actually heavier than the previous 8hp 4-stroke with 3 gallons of gas, but it's distributed differently. We keep a few gallons in the water tank, but filling it up would probably add another 20-30 lbs. We haven't had as many friends out this summer, which might be making it more noticeable.
