I don't know where you got those weights at, but I've had most of those hanging on my cherry picker, I'll be the first one to tell you all the manufactures lie, the eagle series v6 150 Johnrude is a light engine, and a good motor, but its not lighter then an equivalent carb Merc. The ones around here are rotting away, don't see to many of them lately, and your stuck with plastic carbs that aren't available any more. Most of those other engines are much heavier than they list. I've seen the shipping invoices on a lot of newer motors, according to them, the crates must weigh close to 200 lbs. Down here, you can't give an etec away, or find some one that will admit to being able to work on one. theres a reason or that.
