A 4 stroke is going to be heavier than a 2 stroke.

What year was the Evinrude 60? My 1966 service manual has the Evinrude 60 at 225 to 236 pounds, depending on the shaft length.

The 2007 Yamaha 4 strokes go from 237-248 lbs, so you're gaining a whopping 10 lbs. You could probably lose that yerself and break even on the deal
