    Default Weight difference between 2 motors

    Does anyone know off hand the weight difference of a 91 100hp merc and a 88 150 hp black max merc?

    I can pick one up pretty cheap and might go for the upgrade. My tinny is only rated for a 135 max, but is 15hp really that much more?
    The reason I do what I do is in the avatar above.

    About 50 lbs difference. If you were to ever be involved in an accident the insurance companies would think it was a lot.
