Being a forever OMC fan as you may be you can not over look the Mercury 18, 20, 25hp of the ’90 and beyond till the 4 strokes. That little motor was the lightest in its class with great power. Now it became famous for it chrome bore block early and later it’s Mercosil block. These motors were rumored to not be repairable, but could be sleeved if chrome bore and the Mercosil blocks could be bored. It was absolutely critical that the Mercosil block not suffer oil starvation or an overheat. Something no engine should have to go through with proper maintenance. I’m not trying to sell you a Mercury motor, but you asked for the best power to weight ratio and you would have to consider the Mercury on that basis. The motor is small and compact.
