Any one have an opionion if I will have any problems lifting my 13' BW with a 40hp? I plan on using the inside eye bolts in the rear and front as a lifting point for my davit. Figuring my weight at about 1,000 lbs. Does that seem correct with boat, engine, fuel, and battery?

The first owner of or old 15 super sport hoisted the boat from the lifting eyes for many years without issue. That is what they are there for.
