Thread: Jet weight vs. Outboard weight

    What is the weight of a smallblock Chevy 350 with an American Turbine SD-309 compared to a typical Merc or other 225-300 HP outboard? Which set-up usually has the best HP to weight ratio?

    I think eggbeaters will win that contest everytime. Esp when you consider there are very few small block jets out there (also very few, if any 450-600hp eggbeaters though). Someone will bring the actual numbers in though.

    One thing you have to remember is the Outboard hangs off the back (outside) of a boat. For a jet the motor is inside the boat, so the weight is distributed better then the outboard. I do think a big block and pump would be heavier then an outboard.
