MOtor weight question (4stroke vs 2stroke)

[RickyRegs]

I have a 15' skiff that i purchased with no coast guard weight/power plate.

I have removed 1 1985 Mercury 50HP which NADA says weighs 145LB
I am looking at a Honda 4stroke 50HP which is listed at 215 LB

Does this seem like a large difference that would adversely effect my boats performance due to weight or is 70 lb not that big a deal back there?
