Does anyone know how much a `87 Black Max XR2 150 hp outboard weighs ?? A friend got two seized cylinders due to a fouling carb. He wants to replace it with a newer outboard. He has been thinking about a `01 Mercury Optimax 225 hp outboard. But he is abit anxious about the weight-difference on those two outboards. Does anyone know the weight of those two mentioned outboards ?? 2001 Mercury Optimax 225 hp and 1987 Mercury BlackMax XR2 150 hp.

The 87' 150 is 375#. The Opti 225 is about 515#. What HP is his boat rated for?
