So my old flat bottom 16 ft tracker sportsman has a 1976 35 hp on it. Thinking about buying a new 30 hp merc. Thing is new merc weighs abot 175lb with the trim assist and is a beast in comparission to my old 76 evinrude . I dont know the weight difference. Im bout 230 plus the merc just wanting some input. Dont how its gonna ride with extra weight. Maybe i should go down tothe 20 hp merc its only 115lb??? Any suguestions? Boat is rated for 35hp but that was in 94 these new 4 strokes weigh a lot more than the 2 strokes from 94?????
