Towney: an excellent example of how good sailing and good crew work are more
important than the whole discussion. 

IF I won anything, it wouldn't be because I threw my atomic bomb over the
side and turned it into the mooring anchor that it ought to be. 

If I wanted a Catalina 27 or Cal 25, I would have bought one.

There is a difference in weight ...
However that did not stop Towney from Winning The 2004 NOODs with an
Atomic 4.
Here is a weight comparison:

I believe that the Grey Marine motors are even heavier and that is what my
boat Originally came with. She was repowered to an A4.

Maybe you should switch to a Catalina 27 or a Cal 25?
They have a one design class ... and use outboards!
