How much does 1974 short shaft 50 HP mercury outboard weigh?

I had a 23' center console I used to go 40 miles offshore fishing with, that's about the smallest I'd use for 4 people weather you're going to be fishing, or just cruising.
the weight of boat, motor and trailer was about 5000 pounds with 100 gallons of gas.
Towing that wasn't too bad, but I decided to keep it at a marina after the first year.

Definitely a 21 footer, bigger if you can get. Insure you get an 8 cylinder engine, you will need the power in the ocean. Volvo or Mercury engines are very good and as of 2003 are installed about 50/50 in all boats.
