My other concern is the weight the Yamaha I have now is 495# the Suz is 606#. I am a little nervous about water coming up thru the scupper while at rest/docked.
Thanks for all the great information.
Heading to the Keys next week keep the sun shinning.

The stock deck heights are problematic for the hull whether its people or motor weight. The 100 extra pounds should not be an issue but if you already get wet feet it won't help. I was really hoping someone would get their hands on a new Merc 300 but if you can find one they ain't cheap.
