I keep the boat on a trailer with the plug pulled out & cover over it
so I don't think it has soaked up a lot of water. *I can tell just by
moving the boat around in the water that is isn't a light boat but
actually heavier then it looks. *It only sits about 6inches in the
water so it's not like it sits deep & has a lot of drag. *I have heard
that the chrysler outboards were heavier & not as powerful as other
motors around at that time.

Well, like we said, it's hard to tell. Either way, I can't see a rebuild
making an engine twice as powerful which seems about what you need so I
would still invest in the larger powerplant instead of hoping the
rebuild of the engine (slightly bigger than half the rated hp) will
solve the problem...
