Big problem and need advice

[spareparts]

weight is going to be roughly 500 lbs, depending on the model you have now anywhere from 50 to 100 lbs heavier than what you have now, its still lighter than a Yamaha four stroke 200/225 by about 100 lbs. If you want ot see how your boat will set, just walk to the back of the boat at rest, you'd be suprised how little it changes. The biggest problem I have with the 250's is they drink fule like there is no end, and if its a carb model ,the fuel inrichner circut can give problems, just make sure teh 250 is checked out prior to purchasing. BTW, what exactly is wrong with your current motor?
