The devil might be in the detail with the Honwave/Tohatsu 20 4-stroke outfit. The tohatsu is a 2013 so would probably be the pre-efi model and could weigh around 56kg which by most people standards needs to be a trailed outfit..

I had noticed on the plate it states 51.5 kg - 65kg, why such a wide range?

I've just loaded my 20hp efi into the truck ready for the off in the morning. At 47kg that's at the max for me, anything over 50kg and it would be a definite no from me.

50kg is a distant memory for me Steve! Even the 38 kg Merc is a definite 2 person lift for me now.

Oh the joys of a weekend away sibing, it's the smell of fuel that does me with that type of.load. I'm taking it the engine is on a wooden pallet, has the pallet got wheels on it to aid loading/unloading?

Hi tinker, couple of weeks just outside of Tenby. Its a homemade crawler board, the idea came from Chipko. When the rain stops and I can set everything up, I'll take couple of pictures and put them on a new thread so as not to clutter up this eBay thread.

Tidy little outfit for someone as long as the seams aren’t falling apart.

Seems from both items and the house/lawn/drive backgrounds in the shots of the outboard the seller likes things neat so it may just be that.

The Aerotec looks super clean but far too much money.

They generally always get scuffed and scratched. I’d much prefer to see it original, warts and all and with original graphics.

Aesthetics, most likely.
I've repainted a few outboard cowlings for the same reason. I did one a few months ago because the decal on one side had been scuffed and OEM replacements are crazy expensive. I was able to repaint the cowling, add reproduction decals for under 50 bucks and it looks like factory finish.

Tbh thinking about doing mine, with no compressor it would have to be with cans, how did you do yours?
