even the newer 2 strokes are heavier...My 115 4 cyl.( which weighs the same as an 80 or 90 4 cyl 2 stroke) merc 2 stroke weighs 100lbs more than my 86.. 90 merc in line 6 did.... I keep the scupper plugs in and have a 1500 gpm pump gaurding the deck.. and have done so for the last 20 years..

A good run is better than a bad stand!
