[QUOTE="Deadmeat, post: 145282, member: 704"] For 17 years I had a 1988 Evinrude 30-hp motor on a Grumman 1542, which is rated for 25-hp. The deal I got on it was just too good to pass up so I took the chance of getting stopped and mounted it on the transom. In the 17 years I had the boat and motor, I was creeled on a number of occasions and checked for life jackets, registration, and the other usual things but was never asked about the rating on the boat. But there again, I never gave anyone any reason to ask about the rating by operating the boat recklessly. It's very, very seldom I go anywhere at any speed much above half throttle (I enjoy the boat ride about as much as fishing so why not make it last longer?), so it wouldn't make much difference at that speed whether it was a 25-hp or a 30.
