I went to a modern Merc 40 3cyl two stroke on my 13' and it was 206 pounds. The small 40hp 4strokes are another 50 pounds on top of that. If you can find a good running old Johnson or one to restore they are great on the 13's.

I could barely lift it myself when I was working on it in my shop. Try e-bay under Johnson or Evinrude as I see them from time to time there for not much and usually fresh water run.

I intend to run it till it dies. Look in the articles section under engine choices to see what your options are and how much they weigh for a new engine.
