I know this question revolves around resale value, but I've owned the boat for 15 years and have little desire to part with it in the foreseeable future - assuming I'm not blown away with the pending re-power and maintenance costs.

A good floatation bracket for 4 strokes like a Hermco is the best thing you can do to offset the weight of the heavier motors. The fours will help the value and bracket will give you more room and make it more marketable for sure. Some people set out to buy a boat and don't know what type of boat they even want but they know that "long as it has a four stroke and a bracket" they will be happy. It has almost became a popular or a fad to way to go with this style setup. If you are planning on keeping it for a while I would do it how it will work best for you anyhow. Long as its done right, you keep good balance on the boat and maintain a good ride you will benefit.
