Does a 90/65 on a 1648 lowe make me an idiot?

[QUOTE="Lil' Blue Rude, post: 382822, member: 4627"] Go for it, People freak out about this kind of thing but they don't take the time to consider this, most boats are rate by HP but I honestly think it has to do more with the weight so most motors in ?hp range weigh so much and that's what there basing the rating off of. So your boats rated for 35hp and at best it's a long shafts boat it had a 20" transom so now that your having the transom built up to the correct height for your 90/65 it's at 27" give or take a little. That's has to offset the hp rating some what doesn't it? There's no over powering laws around here and honestly your not going to over power that boat with that motor. It sounds like a lot but I'd guess the boat will run mid to high 30's around here that's going good but it's not considered a fast boat. As far as riverbud55 comment goes I think that was a little uncalled for. Not trying to start a you know what match either. [/QUOTE]
