yea that's about where mine sits in the water now. I missed out on a HELL of a deal on a 2010 etec 150 that I would've loved to try out on my boat. I bet that would've been scary. but the 135+ HP motors are about 115lbs heavier than my 88spl which I know is a v6 vs a v4, but even the 115 ETECs are like 80lbs heavier.
