    40 hp to small?

    I have a 1000lb bass boat (fiberglass 1989 Winner)and the 110 hp is no longer worth rebuilding. I have another boat that has a 40hp Honda 4 stroke. Would the Honda push the boat? I am not worried about speed, my concern is the motor, can it handle the load?

I hit the choke like a previous message suggested and...
