Lightbulb Yamaha F70 on a 20 MA?

Toying with the idea of a rehab- cleaning the carbs and fixing the tilt/ trim on my Yamaha F100 and selling it.



Then finally fixing the transom on my 20 MA with coosa and divinycel.


A Yamaha F70 with EFI is 253 lbs. Versus 363lb or so for the F100.That and a foam transom, and needing and carrying less fuel has me wondering.



I think this is a question for Fr Frank.


This boat is too small and light to go fast in a Buzzards Bay chop. I always try with the F100 and never can air it out. This may astonish some of you, but it gets airborne too often with just a F100. I can't get to 30 statute MPH on any sort of regular basis.


This would never work for a Florida boat, I know. But a new, light EFI engine is appealing. And kind of fits with the Mosely vibe of "light is right".


No raising decks, no worrying about flooded scuppers, no worry about center of gravity...
