Default Need engine recommendation (Yamaha)

Greetings,

I have been lurking awhile but am new to this site. I'm thinking of
upgrading my 17' Gregor (hull wt 925#) from a 40hp Nissan 2-stroke.
Max mfg. hp rating is 70. The boats sports a 6hp 4-stroke kicker.
Minimizing engine weight is a top consideration. Thinking of using a
70hp Yamaha 2-stroke. Any other suggestions? Any problems/reservations
concerning this particular Yamaha? With a 4-stroke kicker, there seems
no reason not to enjoy the superior torque of a 2-stroke. What sort of
price range might I expect for selling a low-hour, 40-hp 2002 Nissan?
Your thoughts appreciated...
-John
