Apparently I offer my thanks too early.

Here in New England we don't have a 400cc class, we have to run our OMC's an Mercs in the 350cc class. The 400cc rigs are not as fast, but its a good race. By eliminating the 400cc in 350cc we have no race. Our club (eastern outboard racing club ) on the island here has 7 omc's and 2 merc's. I think by adding 25 lbs. we won't even be in the ball game. Lets leave well enough alone. In this day and age, we want to attract new drivers to an inexpensive and easy to maintain class. The 400cc class fits the bill.

I was wondering what you guys are going to do with the weight increase. Can your local club be convinced to run 400 instead of 350?
