How many of you obey or ignore motor ratings on your boats?

[QUOTE="bassboy1, post: 234973, member: 55"] I often see that guys beef up the transom to hold a larger engine, but in reality, the ratings, as recommended by the USCG, are based solely on boat dimensions. Basically, they have a formula that factors in length, beam, and hull design (hard chine or soft chine). As far as the ratings go, the transom actually has very little influence. I'm not going to give my opinion on motor ratings, but I will say that I have had a few boats where the placard was missing.... [/QUOTE]
