Man, the four stroke models are HEAVY.

But on the bright side, at least you don’t have to buy synthetic 2 stroke oil at $34 per gallon (good for about two tanks of gas) and it’ll probably be more stable for towing than the older lighter models (it’ll stay in the water more). Plus it should cost you alot less in gas than mine did. Quieter, too.

Stand ups are fun. If you have a boat too.
