Default BoatUS- The dangers of low transom boats

I talked to the engineer who ran that test. He believes that with my
typical fuel load (half a tank, max, 310 pounds), nothing in the

Maybe if it's real light. I've run a 19 footer with a 90 horse. It
was OK with one person but not exactly a power house. With 3 or 4
people it really bogged down. A neighbor in FL has a 20 footer with a
135 on it. It goes pretty well but I doubt it would plane with half
that. Hard ride in a chop.
