Re: motor weights, too much?
The Opti's are just fine now as well, when you go to the V6 all the engines will be close in weight from 150 to 200, thats why I suggested the 115 HO - V4 and as much HP as the 130. The next big factor is the lower unit, the HO's are designed for smaller lighter hulls and it comes with the high performance Lightning gear case which has a smaller foot print and therefore faster too. I think it comes in about 370lbs so about 50 lighter than Bush's 150
I follow alot of boat forums on the net, Etec's and Opti's are seeing the least issues of all. The Etecs will also run @ 100/1 oil ratio and no dealer servive for 300 hrs, which is a fact not hype. Plus I can get you a good deal on Etec's if you can put it on the boat
