My brother has a 1979 montauk 17 with a 115 on it. He loves it.
The weight on his optimax is not an issue on his boat.
Does that free motor run well? Have engine harness, and.controls.that fot the boat? If so, since the boat was free, id go.with a.free.motor.
Learn.to boat the way you want, and the ins and outs, then.consoder if.its wprthit to you and.your family.to put money into.a new or used motor.
