Default 200 HP 4-stroke Yamaha on a 20' Fisherman too much?

I currently have 200HP 4-stroke on my 20' 84 fisherman. The transom needs to be redone, but I'm wondering if I have too much power.... Thoughts??

Too much weight. I bet trailering did it in with all that weight back there bouncing. That YAMAHA weighs in close to 600 pounds in running condition, that is roughly 50% more weight than these boats were meant to hold.
