          my handy-dandy says 75lbs for the ’55. Seems about right, same as my FD-10..

            75 lbs feels right. I have one on my stand right now.

              Mr,Asa,
              My 1953 Evinrude SuperFastwin 15 is 67 pounds, short shaft manual start. Great fishing motors!!

                I actually have a ’56. I wonder what the differences between the two years are that give an 8 lb increase? Heftier castings, maybe?

                Haven’t weighed mine, but two different manuals can’t be that far off, can they?

                    quote Mr. Asa:

                    1955-56 was a complete redesign over the pre-55 models. Rubber mounts, lower cowlings, air silencer etc. They did well to keep it at only 8 lbs.

                      Yes,
                      I agree with Frank. Just the iso mounts is that much more weight.

                        It looks like 75 pounds is the right answer. I try to limit the weight of my motors to 66 pounds. Thats all I want to pick up.

                        Thanks
