[QUOTE="aeviaanah, post: 217123, member: 6493"] I bought a 12' aluminum fishing boat, Valco brand. I am currently rebuilding it... The tag is missing that would show the max HP. I looked at similar boats and they say 9.9 is max. What determines the max HP? Obviously the manufacturer but is there anything I can do to put a 15 or 20 HP motor on there? I already got the transom ripped out, I am a steel worker and can work aluminum.....If i decide to go with a bigger motor, what should I do? Bigger gussets? Thicker transom boards? Thanks! [/QUOTE]
