I see the rating inside the cockpit of this boat is for a max of 140
hp. What would be the ill effects of having a 150 hp motor on this
boat?
Probably none that are too serious, if you're even moderately lucky.
A few considerations;
Older boats were typically rated with the *weight* of a two stroke in
mind. Now that most outboards seem to be four stroke, and somewhat
heavier, one has to wonder what the builder would rate the boats for
today. From a weight perspective, it could be a bit less HP than
before.
Good point Chuck.
