So I know it's an old motor (OMC), but apparently it's rock solid with all new gaskets, new impeller etc., and I think I can get it for $2k. My 150 VRO has been steady these past 10 years but a cylinder is scored and she may be on her way out - lots of white smoke probably from sea water getting to the head. I'm not a wrench and I don't want to spend $5K or more rebuilding it.

My questions is, does anyone know the weight of this 235 OMC? I have a rebuilt and solid transom done professionally so I think I can possibly go up to 500 lbs but the extra torque has me a bit concerned. Any ideas ... ?

Oh, if anyone has a solid 4 stroke for a reasonable price ... ha ha

Thanks!
