Have you had any problems with the nose flexing and wanting to rip off due to it being old and worn out or does it stay rigid? There aren't many folks running old boats with new terrova so I thought I may ask.
I wouldn't think you would have a problem with older boat. Main thing is inspect the area where you intend to mount motor. Is it fiberglass or aluminum? Does it have a plywood backing under it? Can you get to the mounting bolts under motor mount? If so you can always reinforce it with aluminum plate or plywood backer using stainless bolts,body washers and nylock nuts.
