FNG here, Just purchased a 99 Merc 4 stroke(approx wt 200lbs). Plan to install on my 83 Aluminum Starcraft. What concerns me is the wieght of the motor. Capacity plate on the boat reads Max hp :50, max wieght; incl persons, gear, motor: 1350. I realize they didn't have 4strokes in 83 and the hp rating refers 2 stroke(which would be a much lighter motor). Talked to a couple boatguyz and they both said would be OK. Anyone else running with a similar rig? BTW the "welder" sent me. Any thoughts appreciated. THANKS
 
:WELCOME: Thanks for signing on.

It shouldn't weigh that much more than a 2 stroke.It should be fine,just move some weight forward in the boat.
