Is it a fibreglass boat? How old?
If so, a motor that size would usually be mounted one of these ways: lag bolted to a pair of glassed-in engine bearers, through-bolted to metal brackets which are through-bolted to the stringers, or (gasp!) lag-bolted to the stringers themselves. Could you post some photos?
