Nice whaler to tool around on. Can I upgrade the outboard to a 4 stroke without to much difficulty? Not sure if I will have weight issues. It has a 20hp johnson now. Newbie not sure how to add pics yet.

Is there something wrong with the Johnson? My first whaler was the 11 SS and that very same motor. It was a good motor for that boat as it was not heavy and pushed the boat about 26-27 gps
