[QUOTE="Team Colibri, post: 324324, member: 11574"] You will find that any and all brands use the same block on at least two HP engines from around 8 HP and up. My own Honda BF50 share block with BF40, and my dads Suzuki 80 HP shares block with both 70 HP and the 90 HP etc. This makes a lot of sence from a costperspective, but especially on smaller boats the weight of your outboard (and in fact the weight of everything else as well) plays a big role in how the boat rides, not to mention how easy it is to handle while on land. A few kilos dosen't matter, but 20 kg defenitely does. I have no knowledge of the outboard you are looking at though, I'm simply to young beeing a -78 myself. :) [/QUOTE]
