I recently witnessed a 1985 90hp in line six with power trim that weighed 306# with a stainless propeller hanging on a scale. The rest can be verified through the OEM websites.
That's exactly my point fitz.
Why make every member here look up something that the original poster doesn't even want to include in their statement. If they don't want to take the time show us the information, why should we assume their statement is correct without facts?
Over 36,000 members looking up the weight of all the different motors.
I would suggest everyone in the future making a statement, to give us all the info so no one has to look it up.
Makes it easy to compare.
All 90hp motors today weigh more than the older motors including the Tower of Power.
Even the new Mercury weighs in at 359 pounds for their 90hp 4 stroke.
And the E-Tec weighs less then all the newer motors including the new Mercury 90hp as shown below.
Tower of Power 90 = 306 lbs. (according to fitz)
E-Tec 90 = 320 lbs.
Honda 90 = 359 lbs.
Mercury 4 stroke 90 = 359 lbs.
Yamaha 4 stroke 90 = 366 lbs.
I used to take care of Current Engine Weights for easy comparison but no one seemed that interested so I no longer keep them up to date.
Here is one:

Again, give us all the info like shown above and try to be upfront with everything.
Hope this helps.
