Too bad you wouldn't consider a 4-stroke. The new 2.1L Mercury 4-cylinder Fourstroke 90 HP (or 115 version) would weigh significantly less (359 lbs) than the ETEC 90 HO (or 115/HO), and offers roughly 24% more displacement. You could have the best of both worlds -- plenty of power and lightweight. It also costs quite a bit less than the ETEC!
Either way you go, good luck to you with the repower. It will be great having a nice new engine hanging back there and there really aren't any bad options!
