Excellent! If you can, please post a link so we can follow it. The Mercury 3 cylinder 90 HP (replacement to the 6) were made from 1989 right up through 2004 or so and were a good motor as would a V4 Johnson / Evinrude. They pop up from time to time in the used market and are in the same weight range (310 pounds or so). Stick with the lightest power you can find on that hull.
