tashasdaddy is right, but just for argument's sake, which rating on the 4.3? 175 or 205?

How come? 500 - 700 lbs . . .

I would say Boomyal has it right, either way you will be buying parts and upgrading constantly.

Actually it's a 17 1/2 and it's rated for 140hp says it on the transom and its the stock motor.

The 4.3 is a 190hp.
