    There should be a plate in the boat saying what the boat is rated for motor wise. Next measure the transom and then measure the motor from the top of the transom mount to the anti cavitation plate. The distances should be about the same. Another words you want the anti cavitation plate as close to even with the bottom of the boat as possible.
