Welcome to S-B guys...
CapnDave is right, there should be a plaque near the transom stateing max HP for the hull. But you really can't stop there. If it is an older boat chances are good that there is some transom rot which can cause even greater problems... So good idea to have someone check that. Even if it looks good, you wouldn't be able to easily tell if it's rotted on the inside or not...
What kind of hull is it? What make?
