I'm considering replacing my current (blown) motor with a Mercury Verado, but I'm concerned it may be too heavy. The boat is a 1993 Lund Baron 2100, rated for 200 hp. I currently have a 2 stroke Mariner 175 Magnum EFI on it. I found a 200 hp Verado for a good price and would love to have a 4 stroke. However, I just realized the weight difference is 300 lbs! Should I be concerned? On one hand, its no different than a fat guy sitting on the back of the boat, on the other, its nearly twice as heavy as the current engine. Any advice?
