    Are all transom holes the same ?

    Im in the market for a boat and i think i have found one. The boat now has a late 70's early 80's evinrude 100 hp. I would like to upgrade to a newer engine but would a newer engine like a 1996 johnson 115 hp used the same holes on the transom ? How about a late 80's yamaha ? Thanks for your help !
