My uncle recently gave me his old fabuglas boat with a 50hp johnson after he upgraded. It had sat for a while so I had the carbs rebuilt and the water pump replaced. It ran perfectly until one day I was out cruising, and the engine began to hesitate and surge and then lost almost all power...
I have a 1973 14'6" Fabuglas. I was wondering what the maximum motor size this boat can handle without damaging the transom. Also, is there any way to strengthen the transom?
