need advice on used outboard purchase...

[bsteckel]

i thought i may be able to get away with the extra weight by getting a minimal set back bracket ..

i was reading builderfl's threads over the weekend .. do you know what motor he was running on his center console and the weight? the porpoising (sp?) issues seem hard to fix.

looked like a mercury 200, but not sure. it seems he was running quite a bit more set back than i will have. not sure how much difference this makes.

happy father's day to all the dads out there!!
