My 1436 Alumnacraft can hold about 650lbs total. it says 15hp max. can a put a 20hp on this boat?

my 9.9 wieghs about 80lbs, today they all weight 100-115, whats the lightest 15-20HP motor out there?

You will need to find out who built the motor for sears. I have a 1983 mariner 25 hp motor on my 1436. It weighs 105 pounds I also have a 12 gallon fuel tank up front to help balance out the load.
 
The first 3 numbers of the model number indicates the manufacturer. Looks like yours was made by Merc. I don't know if it can be converted to a 15 or not.

225= Mercury
488 = Johnson
298 = Tanaka
217 = Eska
