That's a pretty good looking boat, Alex. I agree with Destroyer to do the measuring and the weighing. I think you are going to find they will not work both in terms of space and weight. Those old Starflights had some width and weight to them.
I think since you have three of them, you should put the best of the three on and give it a go. I do think a 100 h.p. motor (even an older one, which correct me if I am wrong guys, is probably only equivalent to a modern 85-90 h.p. motor) would get you cruising with your hull. I do not think you would break any speed records, or probably be even able to pull up a larger slalom skier with it, but I think you could plane and cruise with it, and, of course, get out to fish. If you did not like the performance, then you could just put some bucks into a newer, larger motor. Now controls, steering and all that stuff is a different question. If you do not already have controls, you are probably going to have trouble finding a set.
