Still right at 1000lbs for the set and 725 lbs for the same ponies in a DF350.
Yamaha stung me back in 2004 with the f225 when I paid $$$ over the f200 and only got a sticker out the deal being output was only 206 hp. Mercury is going to have to be more forthcoming with specifications to sell me on them as a home run at this point. The fact they are touting weights of the 20” model says something. Don’t get me wrong as they all do it but after researching weight graphs on the Merc site they are comparing their lightest model 20” motor against the heaviest contender models. I dislike smoke and mirrors right out of gate. Merc didn’t do that with the L4 150 which would be my overwhelming choice over any brand in that power class. Time will tell but the ball ain’t over the fence yet.
