The strength of the transom isn't the problem. There's a fairly complex formula to determine the biggest engine your boat can safely use - it takes into account the length of the boat and width of the transom. If you put more engine on the boat than it's rated for, it could cause an accident you'd be held responsible for.

What is the oil to gas ratio for a vintage 4 horse evenrude outboard?

Without knowing the year, I can only tell you what is a safe mix. Fuel/Oil mix: 24:1 (87 octane gas to TC-W3 rated outboard oil), would be a safe mix. If you find that at this mix it smokes excessivly, then switch to a 32:1 mix, which is still a very safe mix.
