That's like saying "Given that gelcoat disolves in water, should I actually launch my Whaler or just admire it on the trailer?" Which is to say you're about 5 years out of date there, Geo - your "given" is just not so any more, at least not universally.
When I put my F70 on my SuperSport 15, I was concerned about the 3 pound increase (260 vs. 257) over the 2-stroke Johnson 70 previously on the transom, but it turns out to be OK:-).
