I have a Cape Horn 19 and I am wanting to re-power with a 4 stroke Yamaha which is about 100 pounds heavier. Here are my thoughts, please let me know if any issues that could come from this.
With the Cape horn already a heavy boat, my thoughts were to take the 200 mercury off, finish the transom to the top and add an engine bracket to help with weight of the Yamaha. I would then move the live well back and incorporate it in to the transom opening up a lot of the cockpit area. Any and all constructive opinions are appreciated.
Thanks so much in advance.
