I bought a 1981 Glastron 167 with a Merc Classic fifty inline 4-cylinder on the back (rated at 45hp I think). The hull is rated for 120hp so I'd say im seriously underpowered. I wont be able to test it out until next week, but what do you guys think I can expect for performance out of this thing? Do you think it will it even plane with 4 people in the boat?

Compression is good. I ran it in a garbage can filled with water for a few minutes and it sounds great.
