I met a guy last year who put the 2011 150hp verado on his 87 204c after they redid his transom. He said he was happy with it. Bragged about the fuel economy mostly. When he put it in the water the scuppers were completely submerged. Looks like the 150 4s is 455lbs. (515lbs) for the verado class Might be worth taking a look into that model for my repower next year.
