Generally, there is a data plate somewhere around the inside of the transom that will state the recommended horsepower range for the boat. Some only state the maximum horsepower.
My 17' for instance, is rated for 150 max. and I get around very well and economically, with a 60.
"It's been there for 4or 5 years"........
While your at the transom, make sure it is still firmly attached.
ANY cracks and/or weeping fluids are not a good sign.
Have fun, be safe.
