I am looking at re-powering this boat. The plate says it will handle up to 100 hp. Will this transom handle the heavier 4 stroke 90 hp engines? As near as I can tell they weigh anywhere between 75 and 100 lbs more than the equivalent 2 strokes.

Edit: Corrected model name per guidelines, subject clarity
