I bought a 1978 Fisher flatbottom 1760 today. The transom has been reinforced and i'm wondering if anyone knows the horsepower specs? I tried to google it to no avail.
 
I used to duck hunt with a guy that had one of those. That boat will haul a LOAD! We've had three hunters and gear, a retriever, and a gross of decoys in it many times. He had a 25hp Evinrude on his, but that boat is big and stout enough (if it's still in good shape) that I believe it could take a 40hp, especially if your transom is reinforced.

Is yours still in good shape and not floppy? Also, does yours have the all welded or riveted hull?

Heres 2 from that year in that size range.
I'm not sure if either boat is yours,one rated for a 40hp the other a 70hp.
