Have the chance to get a 2006 225 johnson outboard.
I have a 1977 Glastron SX192 rated for 175. It currently has a 1977 Johnson 175 on it. Is there a reason I could not put the newer 225 on it? What woudl I have to do to be able to upgrade to the newer engine? Strengthen the transom or whould I have to do anything?
Is it the transom that limited the size of engine? Would that apply to a new higher horse engine that weighs the same amount?
Looking for some quicj answers as I have only two hours to decide if my boat will be able to handle the new engine or not?
Thank you for your help and input.
