What would the weight differance in a early 80's 150 Blackmax and a mid 1990's 150 hp engine. I know the horse power is up and my boat can handle the extra power. Just curious if newer engines are significantly lighter. If there is a site that might have this info that would be very helpful.

Thanks

The 150HP V6 Black Max motors went from 2.0L in the early motors to a 2.5L block in the later motors. This increased the weight somewhat.

Other V6 brands of motors (Johnny), weigh a bit more for the same 150HP.
