Joe - sorry for the confusion. My point was that even a 115HP engine that was considered oversized for it's time, and needed to be painted black, is today lighter than even the lightest modern 75, the E-tec at 320#, which has a small profile. All 75 and up HP engines of today are quite large if you ask me, and too heavy besides.
The advertized weight of a 1984-1988 Merc in-line 6 "Tower" was 303#. So the above information by Fitz is correct.
