You can and I have but it all depends on how much an increase in power and weight your going up by.

Doesn't it void insurance etc if it isn't certified by a marine engineer? What kind of size jump are you talking about also considered the additional weight to how the boat's going to peform?
best of luck

These pods are what happened to my 10ft tinny that needed a bit more ability to carry the motor without water spilling in after quick stops or when backing up. The pods also make a good casting platform. They did also stiffen the transom too.
