Im putting a bps 4000 on the back my 16ft lowe for a year then moving up to a 17ft excel next year. I was told to watch out for the motor having to much torque and wrecking the transom on the boat has any 1 heard of this and if so anyway to get around it for a season till i get my excel? thanks for the help

Dude I see a lot of people saying that a Mudmotor will wreck a riveted boat. I see it like this - my lil 16' had a 75 evinrude on it, most people's boats had 70's - 90's on 'em, and we all had jacking plates and plowed through almost the same crap we do now, so I don't think that 1/2 the horsepower will hurt it. My buddy ran a 36 PD on his 1848 riveted Polarkraft for a few years, and the boat did fine through all the mud and sandy bottoms. Logs are probably a different story, but I think a riveted will hold up fine.
