Under the Engine subcategory is Engine Guide for 16-17' models. http://www.whalercentral.com/articles...ticle_id=5 If you use the search feature for "Yamaha F90 Montauk" you wil find many discussions. A majority say the engine is not too heavy. Moving the battery to the console is suggested to counter some of the added weight. 1992 Outrage 17 I 2019 E-TEC 90, Viper 17 2+ 2018 Load Rite Elite 18280096VT
