I have the chance to purchase a used (60 hours) 2013 F40 4 stroke from a neighbor. Just motor and prop, he's keeping controls etc. Was wondering what you all thought about its weight (~216lbs depending on the model) for a 13 foot 1969 full splashwell converted super sport. Im currently running a 1985 2 stroke 50 horse merc. Wanting to re-power for power tilt/trim, less noise/pollution, and dependability.

Do these motors have any well known problems? Previous owner had this on a 16' boat and he now wants to water ski behind it so he needs something a bit larger. If anyone runs one, would love to get your thoughts!

Thanks
