Ferm beat me to it on teh weight issue(I think its 480?), but the Yamaha 200 and the Mercury 200 have very similar weights and performance. The existing 150 Yamaha has always been a strong performer. I haven't looked over a new 200 yet, but it seems like it would be the perfect motor for a V

Advertised weight 487 lbs. MSRP $19,040. Advertised price $15,072
Nice thing about these engines is if you already have a Yammie setup you can just swap the engines. Your old gauges and wiring will work with them without replacement. (or you can upgrade to the new digital gauge pkg being sold with these engines, but it's not necessary).

Advertised weight (487lbs dry) vs rigged weight. I doubt it is any lighter than the 250 XL Optimax advertised at 505 lbs. in a 20" shaft. E-tec 515 lbs for the 250hp in 20" shaft. Amazing is the Yamaha SHO 250 4-stroke 20" is 505 lbs dry.
MJ is right the old 4-stroke v-6 are advertised at 605 lbs dry weight. They are making improvements.

I dont know, Barnegat V20 hasnt been around in a while but seeing the 150 four stroke on his boat in person and recalling how he wasnt happy with how it was sitting i wouldnt say that its a slam dunk motor choice therefore paving the way for the 200.
