Find a old freshwater inline 6 Merc 150 or 115 TOwer of power . . . they weigh in at 275lbs. Use the $3,000 - $4,000 you save for fuel. Before anyone says the 4 stroke is a better motor . . . please consider these old inline 6 motors won seacraft (and others) a few trophies including some 500+ miles races like the Bahama500 and the basic design lasted 25+ years in production. Also you can do all the work on it yourself . . . parts are dirt cheap (unlike newer motors)



Not really what I am looking for, two stroke fog makes me seasick.
Just found a 100Hp Yamaha four stroke. Going to sell the 175 Yamaha two stroke.
