D, me, I wouldn't. My friend had a Yammie on it when he bought it, put on the Johnson 150, That went down. Then he got an ETEC 200, had problems with that, got another, trouble with that one. Then he noticed water coming in from the transom, thinks he fixed it, now he has gotten another 200 ETEC. I told him I think the leaks are from stress being put on that transom, taking motors on and off, plus the extra weight on a boat that's 35 years old. He say's they tell him it's fine. IDEAS???? Here's a picture of the boat when they 1st bought it back in 2010, after I washed and waxed.
