Does anyone know what the weight of my 85 Merc 50 hp 4 cyl is. it is not in my owners manual

I am thinking of repowering my boat which is a 85 Tracker Tournament 17. The boat is in good shape and dosent leak a drop. The boat is rated fo 80 HP but this was in 2 stroke days.

My choices might be

60 HP Merc 247 lbs
75 HP Merc 399 lbs
60 HP Etec 240 lbs
75 HP Etec 320 lbs

I would also consider a good used motor provided it was new enough to be fuel injected.

Any idea what I could ask for my old 50 Merc works well 150 psi all 4 cyl.
according to the shop that installed a new power pack last Aug.

Thanks Frank

Can't find the weight specific for an '85.. but a '84 50hp Merc was (Model E) 171lbs and the '87 50hp (Model ELPTO) weighs in at 188lbs.

Hope it helps...

Thanks Craig do you have any idea what a 80 HP 2 stroke would have weighed around 1985

So far as I can find, they did not make an 80hp between 1983 and 1989.

1983 80 HP 80EL - 249Lbs
1989 80 HP 80ELO - 265lbs

This is the site that will have most of the info you would need about weight of outboards. There is also a lot of info about bore stroke and displacement.
