motor weights, too much?

[McGillicuddy]

I totally concur w/ESD. I'd like to hear some Merc heads thoughts on the Optimax. From what I gather the bugs are long gone, and the 115 would be a nice match. That being said that 115 E-tec or the 115HO and 130 are just too cool.

I think the optis weigh in at about 375 lbs and the white (salt-water) E-tecs 390lbs (according to '09 brochure) will both get you high 30s to mid 40s and still avg. 5mpg. I would be sold on either If I had the lumber, er money...
