200, 225, 250, 300 Pro XS are dimensionally the same: 505 lb dry, 1.75 gears.

If 505 lb is too much, the 175 XS is 470 lb, 1.85 gears

Next up is the 150 Pro XS. 456 lb dry, 2.08 gears. 80 plus or minus on a Grandsport. My brother just bought a Grandsport with a 150 HO Etec. He will have fun. My guess is that if anyone put a 150 on the Tuff 20 it would run with the Grandsport.

Yamahas are no lighter. 200-250 are all 505 lb dry. 175 is 480 lb dry

I am very curious to see how the first Tuff 20 is powered. 18-20 is my ideal size, and nothing beats a 200XS for my use

The V6's (175, 200, 225 non ProXS) are 475 according to Mercury's website and the midsections are the same as the V8 (CMS version)

Correct about the non Pro XS V6 engines. But I would want the solid mounts

Sometimes when I'm bored, I run thru the Mercury Parts Catalog... Lol. Anyway, according to this, they all have the same upper and lower mount part numbers. Doesn't go to "solid" until the 300R.
