Wow, I was actually thinking of doing something like that with my big Lund.  I don't think the rivets would like all that power though.

I had a '69 Jetflite with a 75 Hp Johnson and I thought that would fly. It was a bit squirrely and would top out about 50.
  Never thought to go much bigger but you know when it comes to horsepower and cubic inches.....
