Author Topic:   Outrage 22 Engine Weight

merensen posted 05-03-2005 12:32 PM ET (US)
Is this engine to heavy for a 22' Outrage? I have a good deal lined up and want to make sure the boat will not sit too low with this engine. Currently the boat has a 175 hp Johnson; I just bought the boat and have not seen it in the water yet. Research suggests that the new engine would be about 150-200 pounds heavier.
Any experience with a similar set-up? I have tried searching but cannot get a concrete answer.
["This" = 225 HP Yamaha four-stroke]

I've got an Evirude 225 HP 2-S, two batteries and an 8 HP 4-s on the back of my Outrage 22, and I don't think it sits too low in the stern. Others have more weight back there than I do...

I have seen several Guadian 22's from the commercial division, factory rigged on 30" transoms with 30" Mercury 225 4-strokes. Other than looking huge on the boats, the weight seems to be fine.

Hello,
I think you should be fine with the Yamaha at sub 600lbs.
If it is low with the 175 you may be a tad wet.
Here is 700+lbs.-I think it is heavy but fully functional.
Thanks

My 22 has a 250 on it and is fine. I believe the weight to be around 550#.

This is how Kingfish's 22 Outrage sits at rest with roughly the same weight in the rear you are proposing
