Lightweight V6 and V8

Are there any outboard V6 motors that are under 200 pounds or V8 motors under 300 pounds. Ideally produced after 1990, fuel injected, 2 stroke or 4 stroke, and (optional) under-square or near under-square (large stroke, small bore).

I am aware of the Yamaha OX66, though have heard mixed reviews about the efficiency, being that the OX66 was Yamaha's first attempt at a production fuel injected 2 stroke motor.

Note: I'll post question in the Yamaha forum also.

Thanks.
 
No ,closest you will get is the 260/280 hp Merc 2.5 V6 and those were around 400#s. Yamaha are a relatively heavy motors nowhere near the weight you want to be. My 3 cylinder 70 hp weighs 250#s a V4 crossflow is over 300. What you want is not out there.

Isn't the Yamaha OX66 around 200 pounds? Doesn't have to be a missive liter motor.

Are the weights listed including the propeller weight, etc?

I am talking about the engine only (block, heads, internals).
