M_Boats: Motor mount

Hello all, Just a quick question… I own a M17, 1980 model. Purchased with an attached, adjustable motor mount thru-bolted where the cut out for an outboard. Question: Why not use the existing, cut-out for say, a 4-5hp motor? (Wanting to re-power). Keith K Ginger Snap Get Outlook for iOS<https://aka.ms/o0ukef>
