I don't know the answer to your question but I will add that outboards today don't weigh the same as they did in 97' either.

yes
i have noticed that as well, but still the newer model yamaha 2strokes(even though they are no longer being made) the 60 and 70 weigh the same, and there is less than 10 pounds difference between the 4 stroke models

Not all manufacturers use the same block for the 60 and 70hp motors. The first that comes to mind is Mercury. Their 60 and 75hp motors were 2 totally different animals.There is a formula, dictated by the Coast Guard, used to determine max hp for a give boat. If that formula comes out to 60hp, that is what it is rated for.

Email the manufacture with your questions. I'm sure they will tell you straight up.
