225 Johnson on a 20' SeaCraft

[lost2a6]

70Gal tank, I agree with the fact that I can do with less HP'S it's just that this motor is in great shape and if I can keep it on there without hurting the integrity of the transom I would like to. Other than the extra weight on the transom I dont think I will be adding more stress to it because I am not one to run hard? Then again I might be wrong.

If the transom is in good shape then it should be just fine. I had a 97 200 Yamaha on my 20, the transom was a little soft from water intrusion, however it held up just fine. Little movement, but didn't break. [img]/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img] I ended up selling the boat before I had to replace the transom.
