Not sure which model your boat is, but Fiberglassics lists some late 1950s 14 foot Starcraft runabouts as being rated for 40 hp. Those were probably the old "big" hp numbers taken at the crank. Dunno where your Chrysler was rated, crank or propshaft, but it could be a little too much power for your boat’s transom. Make the new transom good and strong and you’ll probably be OK. Keep an eye on the transom knee rivets through the transom after you have run it a bit.
