I own a 17'11' 2001 model Alumacraft console boat. I have a 115HP suzuki 4-stroke engine. I am thinking of adding a 9.0hp kicker to my rig but wonder if the transom is meant to hold the additional weight. When I bought the boat the dealer told me the boat was only rated for the 115 Suzuki, no more. His opinion was based on weight. Any opinions on whether or not I should do this?
