[QUOTE="Country Dave, post: 290194, member: 10344"] Ok I have a question for the egg spurts :lol: I have a 1999 Lowe Roughneck 1752 that I am going to be repowering. I bought the boat and trailer without a motor. Ok here’s the thing. The boat and transom are rated for 50 HP tiller or 80HP with a console. An 80 HP2012 Mercury four stroke 20 shaft weighs in at 399 LBS dry. My 2003 Yamaha F115 only weighs 2 pounds more, 401LBS. I’m going to use the Yamaha. Only 35 HP above the max rated HP for the boat and the weight is comparable. Do I need to reinforce the transom? Thanks for your help. [/QUOTE]
