[QUOTE="stinkfoot, post: 425208, member: 20555"] Power is rated at the pump. Weight would probably be your biggest problem going with a bigger motor. Having said that putting yourself so far in the bow would tend to counteract a heavy back end. You could always see how your boat sits in the water by adding the weight of a 75hp motor in bags of sand or cement in the stern and then standing where you hope to have your console. I get about the same speed out of my 16 foot welded jon with a 25hp prop or a 40hp jet but the boat rides much nicer with the heavier motor. [/QUOTE]
