I have a 1982 Montauk 17 that I need to repower. I found a very good deal on a new Yamaha 90Hp four stroke. I am concerned about weight. I believe it weighs 366lbs. The motor that was on it was the original Johnson 2 stroke 90Hp. That motor weighs 300lbs. There has always been a 7.5 Hp Johnson kicker also on the transom which ways about 55 or 60 lbs. So I feel that it's not going to be that much difference. I would appreciate any thoughts on this. To me having that brand new Yamaha 90 four stroke will be amazing. I just hope not to heavy. Thank you for any insight. Pics below.
