any idea what this merc engine weighs?

Brad - don't go to a 3.0L. They're good motors, but they drink fuel ... like 15-16 gph at 4000 rpm cruise.

398 is about right for a 2.5 L 20 inch, the 25 inch weighs a bit more, and the 3.0 l weighs abit more than the 2.5, I'll see if I have any of the older sales brochures in the ofice tomorow that might have an acacurate weight

Not to mention how much oil they use if still oil injected. We had a PRO-LINE 231 with a 225 MERC on it. The engine wasn't really horrible on fuel as the boat got ok milage(roughly 1.5 KMPG), but the oil it used was UNREAL! It had a 125 gallon fuel tank and a 3 gallon oil tank, you would run out of oil long before fuel.
