engine weight

[mjquatt]

I am debating on a 150, 175, or 200 EFI 2 stroke for a 20SF. Does anyone know what the difference in weights are on these three choices.

[Solafide]

I beleive that these engines are all based on the same V6 block and the weight diference would be minimal

I do think the above poster is dead on, a 150 or 175 would be plenty a 200 is overkill,although I have one but on a MA, so just look for good pricing.

I think a 150, properly propped, is more than adequte.

Has all the weights of outboards back to 1971??

So now you can compare . . .

a 2006 150hp Mercury Verado = 527lbs

TO

a 1975 Mercury 150hp = 275lbs

My '94 Merc 200 is 406

My '91 Merc 150 w/ 20" shaft is listed at 395 lbs. My '88 Johnson 225 w/ 25" shaft is supposed to be 480 lbs.

So, if I want to put a new 175 4 cyl Verado on the back of my Seafari, I need a bracket that has 527 lbs of flotation.

The merc blackmax series are light motors.

1979 Merc v200 is listed at 339 lbs.
1981 Merc V225 is listed at 360 lbs.

Frank - I read in Bass and Walleye or PBR that the big verados (200, 225, 250) were listed at 649lbs, but really weighed over 730+ lbs each.

[Fr. Frank]

730lbs is a lot of weight. I'd rather go ahead and pop for a 803 lb 350hp V8 Yamaha

Seriously, the Seafari gets on fine with anything between 90 - 200 hp, 140-150 being ideal.
