I have an 81 with a 200 hundred rude on the back with a jack plate. Mine is a center console so I would think even lighter in the bow. While not recommended as acceptable, my transom was rotted all to hell and it never flexed or showed signs of flex. Only knew I had a problem when putting on a transducer and black mud oozed out.
