WalkerpierceC,
Theses guys are right on many points. Check the transom, then check it again. My father had a boat that was getting on in age and we realized at the beginning of a season that the transom was soft and about fail completely. You want to be sure that your not going to have a massive failure when you are out 2-3 miles.
A professional opinion is really a good idea.
If there was one thing about boating my father ever did teach it is that bigger and faster is not always better.
