Back in those days there was not a weight rating. That is a modern rating.

How does the hull sit with the current motor?
Hull trim is affected by weight distribution. If you add a heavy motor, you may shift weight forward.

If you have 5 aboard, you will want the max hp with the engine mounted at the right height with an appropriately sized stainless prop.
