I am fairly new to boating and I recently was given a 12’ Jon boat which has a max capacity of a 6 hp motor I have been looking at a couple of 2 stroke 6hp Johnson seahorse motors from the mid 80s and from doing a little bit of research it seems like the 6hp and 8 hp are around 60# and the 10 hp is 65-70# they seem to be close in weight would I be safe enough to step up to and put an 8 or a 10 hp with out causing damage to the transom or should I just look to stay in the 6hp range thanks I. advance for any help!
