My 2 cents worth. I think you will regret it if you put a 230 lb engine on
your 701. My Suzuki weighs in the neighborhood of 200 lbs. I had to put 30
pounds of ballast as far aft as I could to eliminate a nose heavy condition
and lack of up elevator authority. In the process, what with the extra 50
lbs of engine and the 30 pounds of ballast, I have lost 80 lbs of useable
load. The empty airplane weighs 0ver 700 lbs. So, with a full fuel load
and my 190 lbs, I can carry a 90 lb passenger. The trade off, of course,
is less fuel and less range.

That and you have to limit your girlfriends to 4'10" 90lb gymnastic instructor spinners. That sucks. LOL I feel for you.
