First time whaler owner after years of following the classics; 1991 Sport 15 GLS in really good shape w/ no power; have a really good offer on a 2004 60 HP Merc 4-stroke; does anyone have experienc with a similar setup?; I like the idea of a newer 4-stroke, but I'm concerned about the weight

I moved this to the "Engines" forum section as it didn't fit in the General forum.

See this article on Current Engine Choices and their weights.

The old OMC 70hp motors weighed in at 248 pounds if I remember correctly so 247 pounds is not too much.
