Yamaha has always been on the low side of the 10% "cushion" for HP ratings. The early 3.3 225s were on a good day 208 HP.
on the weight , i was looking at yamahas 2017 product information guide [pig] they give to their dealers.our yamaha master tech told me about the hp at the prop,I thought it sounded good.the 30" lower could end up near 20lbs,with the 5'' extension plate and the driveshaft.but being a yamaha dealer I can get really good pricing on 0 hour demo engines and scratch n dent stuff.If I didn't have this yamaha connection,I would go with suzuki...another excellent engine
