I have a foot foot with a 25hp mercury 4stroke 165lbs. The mud buddy 23 mini is 167lbs. I don't see where it would make that much of a difference

Can my buddy put a 23hp surface drive on his 14x32 hull? It has 16 inch sides, I'm trying to tell him no that's it's too heavy, but he doesn't believe me. What do you guys think? |

I've seen one on a 14x42 that had 3-4 inches of freeboard and took water on when he stopped, so hell no. |
