Would a 125hp at 400lbs cause much issue / change of ride?

If you hang a 500 lb 4-stroke on it, you will screw up the balance of the boat, raise it's min planing speed to the low 20's, and end up with a worse ride and handling than if you stay with the original configuration. Adding a bracket will make the situation even worse and require many other changes to get an acceptable ride and low speed planing performance.
