I just got a Lowe 1648MT rated to 35HP and 1000 lbs. I have a 25 HP johnson on it now...and want to know if i could mount a 4 hp mercury on it too? too much weight? anyone do thins before? The 4 hp would be a backup motor.
 
On my 16' lowe It's rated at 35hp 1000 lbs too. I've got my 18hp 4stroke Nissan on the back and I'll just throw on my evinrude 9.9 or Johnson 5.5 when I'm running a 10hp lake. I've not had any problems doing this but you'll need to use your own judgement to see if your transom can handle the weight.
