1970 20' potter - rebuild max engine weight

[SailorChlud]

Ditto on the 400 pounds. My 115hp 2 stroke weighs 363lbs. Add two batteries and an oil tank in the stern, we are a tad over. With just my weight in the stern, the water rises to just above the scuppers. Hell, with "only" the 115hp, my 1972 20' Seafari does 35mph. A 150hp should be the absolute max anyone can use safely in any sea conditions other than dead calm.
