JetDeville700 Topic Author Offline Platinum Boarder Posts: 3271 Karma: 38 Thank you received: 3	Where can I find weights of various mercs? Like how does my '63 merc1000 compare to a '75 1500 or a '78 1500XS? All would be standard shaft. Thanks for any help. Frank Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic.

I think my motor weighs in at about 265, so that would mean those 1500's would weigh in about 300. That's cool, shouldn't be a problem then. It would be less additional weight than another 6 gallon gas tank...

I had somebody tell me they weighed a LOT more than my '63, and I just didn't believe the guy.

Thanks!

It shows the 78 1500XS at 290lbs without PT&T. Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic. Note: BBcode and smileys are still usable.
