[QUOTE="Frankenfish, post: 484415, member: 25701"] The size of a motor on a boat is more than just the "push" the motor provides being transferred through the boat, it's also the weight of the motor on the transom. A 60hp engine is at least an extra 100lbs hanging off the back compared to a 25. How's that going to affect performance, sink the back, etc? Are you going to hit a bump going down the road and peel the transom off your boat? Also some places are strict about boat power vs max sticker recommendations. It may vary by state, but they're strict enough in my state that I wouldn't risk arguing it with a game warden. [/QUOTE]
