I'm still around guys. When I repowered my 86 a couple of years ago, I was real concerned about weight.
All the new motors were slightly heavier than the 200 merc that the boat came with. 150's were the same weight as the 200. A 4stroke would have had water coming in my cockpit. I went with the Yamaha 200 that was about 40 lbs heavier than the 86 merc.
