A 1978 235hp Evinrude weighed 411lb. The boat is rated for a 240hp. It might be cutting it close.

478 is DRY-WEIGHT, so add weight of 7 quarts of oil to mine for net weight...I think you'll be OK... Slinger's 200 small-block is only 427lbs (assumin' a 25" shaft) and the 225 is 524 lbs...LOTTA DIF ;) ...nearly 100lbs ...

Re: A question of weight - 225 Etecīs too much?
I think you will be OK but other issues could make it undesirable. I have 150 johnson and with three people fishing from the rear I have to put plugs in my drain tubes to keep water from entering and issues like that. You say you want to ski and with my 1994 150 Johnson and 6 college kids in the boat I pulled them with no problems at all wake boarding. I think your comparing HSP from the old worn out motor that was on the boat. Anything from 150 up should work just fine withou all that added weight.
