That is a difference of 90 lbs.
That is the difference between bringing my 120lb wife or bringing a 210lb fishing buddy. I've never noticed a difference in my boat's performance when the load differed by only 90 lbs.
I don't think you would notice any difference in performacne whatsoever.

True, but a 4 stroke of the same HP does not have the torque output of a comparable 2 stroke, thats why if your spinning a 175 HP 2 stroke (like me), you have to go up to about 225 4 stroke for the same performance, Now the weight is an issue...
This is what I have been told a few times now by guys in the business. Thats what makes e-tec sellers happy !!!
Anyway get all the info you can and make the call,
