Got an old one it she's straight and don't leak, has the original 40 Merc 2 stroke still on it but no tilt/trim. I just bought a CMC pt130 with the clamp on adapters and transom reinforcements. This will give me an additional 6 inch of set back and hang approximately 50 more pounds on the back end, book says motor weighs 150. Any opinions on how this is gonna work, is it going to cause problems on this old boat?

ummmmmmm . . . you might get more educated feedback if you give
some information on your BOAT - - - so far, you are just talking about
your tilt thing-a-ma-jig.......
the size of your boat, transom braces and the condition of your transom will determine how
your motor hangs (in my opinion).
PHOTOS always help when soliciting opinions.

1984 bass tracker II, 16ft, with a 1983 merc 40. The boat mechanic said after finishing drilling two holes and inspecting the transom that all the holes looked like new wood on the inside and that their was nothing wrong with the transom. Boat is still at the shop so no pics right now.
