[QUOTE="zigzag, post: 214659, member: 6509"] What does the Capacity Plate (port transom) say is the Max HP? I'm not positive, but I believe the HP ratings in 1984 were at the crankshaft, not at the propshaft as they are now. basstender10.6 is likely right. The 50 HP Johnson is probably going to be too much of a good thing -- too much weight aft, too much stress on the boat's structural components, plus you'd need a new steering system -- the cables & pulleys won't do the job. For the money and hassle involved, I'm not sure the difference in performance is worth it ... just my $0.02 worth. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
