These boats were designed for motors of 300 lbs or less, so if you're gonna hang almost 500 lbs on the transom, you're gonna have to move a lot of weight forward to keep from screwing up the CG and hurting the ride & low speed planing capability! It would be easier to balance with a DI 2-stroke, which will also have more mid-range torque for getting on plane with a heavy load.

I was not sure about the weight. I don't want to start shifting weight or change the performance of the boat. I'll keep the 300 lbs in mind when looking for power. Thank's
