That looks to be a mid-70’s 14′ tri-hull utility – motor capacity of 35hp. Also looks to be a short transom. Measure to see if it’s about 15". Your 40hp is a long shaft. Does cavitation plate ride about 5" below the bottom of the boat? If so, you probably need a short shaft motor. I’d look for a mid-70’s 25hp or 35hp motor.
