Hello all - Currently I have a 1983 E75TRLCTE (dry weight 250 lbs) on my 1983 LUND XRF 4.9 Super Pike. I don't want to put any more money in to the motor so I've pretty much made up my mind to upgrade to a 2008 90 HP optimax which has a weight of 370 lbs. A freind of mine is giving me a killer deal since he wants more HP. The boat placard on my Lund says it is rated for up to a 100 HP motor. I am a little nervous about the extra 120lbs of the optimax and whether my transom can handle it. Although my Lund is in great condition it's definitely not new so if anyone has experience with Lunds and what they can handle I would greatly appreciate the information. You can see pictures of my boat here: http://www.qccomputer.com/lundxrf.html
Thanks in advance for your time and information.
