That weight sounds AWFULLY LOW for a 3.0L MERC. I want to say they are closer to 450-475 pounds(maybe even more). The 3.0L is a big engine compared to a 2.0L. And an AWFUL LOT OF TORQUE for a V-20. They were not bad on fuel, but did use ALOT of oil. Had one on a PRO-LINE 231 years back. Boat held 125 gallons of gas, and 3 gallons of oil. It would ALWAYS run out of oil before gas on a long trip. You had to carry extra oil with you on that boat, not to mention how much it ALWAYS smoked. The 3.0L's I want to say ran the oil injection at 75:1 at idle, and 32:1 at WOT, and dropped back to 40:1 for cruise.
