[C38] Thru Hulls

[Max Soto]

Steve,

 To be exact, Larry's engine M25XPB weights 295, and the 5424 or M30 weights
425, so the real difference  is 130 lbs on your side, and 2 more hp on
Larry's side!

That's why I decided to replace the engine instead of overhauling the
original... For 30 lbs less, I got almost twice the hps....

Regards,

Max
