Hello everyone, Im considering purchasing a 1985, 35 HP Evinrude to push my 16 foot starcraft. Can anyone tell me whether this motor's HP would be measured at the powerhead or at the prop? I understand 1985 was around the time the switchover was being made.

On the same note, what do people think of such a motor on an early 70's, 16 foot starcraft? Will I be underpowered at all? I was originally shopping for a 40 to 50 hp motor, but the deal on this 35 seems too good to pass up.

Thanks,
