17.5/18 ft 83 duracraft

[danny11b]

I purchased an 83 duracraft without a motor. I put a 40 hp 83 merc on it, and I was wondering what Hp it was rated for. The person I got it from said it had a 115 on it. Was this too much?

we had an old one at our hunt club, I think it was a 19' and had a 75 on it, it did fine.

I have a 17' Rivertrail alum BIA rated for 800# and 130 hp. I run a 90 on it.
