On Whalers the eyes will all hold the weight of the boat, motor, gear, and then some. <br /><br />Most of my other boats were light enough that the stern and bow eyes would support the weight of the boat. Is this generally true?
What do you think about putting an old style (cross flow) Johnson / Evenrude 140 on a 15' Whaler? It's only about 50 pounds heavier than a 3cyl 70, and uses the same props.
