Horsepower vs boat length

Is there a rule of thumb for how much horsepower you should have
compared to boat length?
IE. 16ft power boat, should have 30-100HP, etc..
Total weight, boat+motor+people+fuel+gear is really a better measure.
Figure about 1 hp for every 30 to 40 lbs of total weight for average
performance.
