Default Re: 1969 20' engine choice

That makes sense, esp if the difference is just 7 lbs. The larger pistons would not weigh as much more as what is bored out of the block - all else being equal. Haven't completely ruled out the Suzuki. Had a 15 that was great and never gave me any trouble.

BTW, the old Johnson 175 I took off weighed 385#'s, according to the manual.

115 and 140 have different trim systems, gear ratios, etc. Maybe those small differences add up and account for the difference in weight.

My 20 MA has a 200 Merc listed at 406 and a standard transom, but has both batteries under the front of the console that would be a must. My livewell is built into the transom and can't be moved, not sure what set up you have. Tough call on this one, maybe the 150 and you go on the Atkins diet [img]/forum/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img] not sure how much you would notice 35# though.
