Hello everyone,
I just found this forum and already like what I see.
I just purchased a 2012 LOWE roughneck bare boat and need to know if you can get in trouble with the law if you mount an outboard on a boat that has more horsepower that the USCG rating on the tag of the boat.
I already had the 60hp merc. before I purchased the LOWE but the tag on the LOWE says 40 hp max.
I see 17-20 ft. bass boats with 250-300 hp motors a lot and cant imagine that those little boats are rated for that size engine.
Anyone know what the laws are on this?
Thanks
