need advice on used outboard purchase...

[bsteckel]

wow, that is almost double the fuel consumption ... is there that much difference in weight between the 2 boats ?..

that 2.5 is 35 lbs heavier approx than the yamaha i am looking at .. and 40 lbs heavier than the 2.0 150 .. not a huge difference.but coming with controls and a ss prop, that is less things that i have to buy. unless the ss prop that came with my sea drive would fit, then the controls is the only difference.

but double the fuel consumption ... wow.
