225 4 stroke weight for 23cc

[salvagefirst]

Im sure jlc wants to spend another 4 grand on top of the 13 grand or more he spent on a 225 suzy.What are some of the other options available,relocating the livewell, moving the console forward, moving the fuel tank forward. I too am faced with the same problem on my 23,but i want to retain the original look of the boat without going to a bracket. What about the new 23s that are coming with verados well over 600 pds but yet these boats are not tail heavy,other than a composite transom there seems to be very little differance
