[QUOTE="DaleH, post: 394159, member: 15636"] Meaning if there is no 'knee' or vertical structure (typically on a 45-degree angle) that bears the thrust of the motor ... that 20hp could end up inside the boat by peeling the transom over on itself ... I'd make sure that there was not only a good strong knee inside, but would add wood or aluminum channel or angle to inside the transom full-width. And regardless of what the plate says ...[color=#FF0000][b][i] that a whole lotta HP on that 12' skiff :shock: ![/i][/b][/color] FWIW I have an old '69 vintage Sears 12' tin rated for a 10hp and she goes like raped ape with an 8hp on it! One person that is ... but I sure wouldn't want more ponies on mine, as she's a very tippy 12-footer ... [/QUOTE]
