JRP,
Don't forget to add about another 15 lbs for a 25 inch shaft for the 170 Montauk II

Mercury seems to be the only outboard manufacturer today that wants to keep everyone in the dark about how much any of their longer shaft motors weigh.
They only list the "lightest model available"

One of the reasons I discontinued the Engine Weight Reference Guides.

Never have been impressed with those type of tactics from any manufacturer.
