1989 Newtauk, 1989 fitch Evinrude 90 hp

Will a 9.9 Honda 4 stroke, weight approximately 110# be to much for this boat.

Test the weight by adding bags of sand/concrete/water jugs to inside wall of transom/splashwell and note how boat behaves, comes off plane etc.

As for power, most 17' boats with a kicker go with 7-9hp.
