[QUOTE="Wistex, post: 264661, member: 7046"] Regarding horse power rating tags on boats, is this a federal thing or state? don't get me wrong as i think the more horse power, the more fun! could it be a regional thing, that is for example at a bowfishing tournament i have seen jon boats with double the horse power allowed by the rating tags. or could it be if one totally customizes a jon boat he becomes the manufacturer and can put on whatever horse power he desires. dittos for the jet conversions going from 30 hp outboards to 120 hp jet ski drives.... it seems many boat customizers are ignoring the rating limits and putting on bigger motors. is it a state by state law thing where some states leo's and warden types ignore it? wistex [/QUOTE]
