It will hold. They weigh less than 200lbs. And my 275lbs self walks across garage rafters frequently.
If you're worried go grab a 4x4 and use it to span a few rafters to spread the load.'78 Hydrostream Viking/'98 225 ProMax

Powerhead weight is irrelevant if the studs are frozen into the mid. Span a few trusses with a 4x4 or similar as you may be lifting the whole weight of the back of the boat.
ANTI40It's just an idea.
