The way I see it, 21# over the weight of a 3 cylinder DFI Evinrude 2-stroke for the 4 cylinder Suzuki, or 39# for the 4 cylinder Mercury 90, is literally insignificant. Out the door pricing is definitely more important to many, for example. Other factors in boat loading, such as battery placement, type of prop (SS vs Alum), water in hull, cooler loading and placement, jackplate use, etc. can all be more significant than a measly extra 39# of engine weight. Two stroke oil under the cowl offsets the crankcase oil in a 4-stroke. Even an old Montauk hull can easily handle this weight.

At the 115 HP level, it's the lightest weight 115 you can now buy, even though it's a 4-stroke, and weighs the same as Mercury's previous 4 cylinder 2 + 2 conventional 2-strokes.

A pair of these could be nice offshore power for a classic 22, either notched transom or Whaler Drive version.
