[QUOTE="LonLB, post: 234995, member: 4391"] That doesn't mean that the manufacturer 'has' to place that HP rating on the boat. That is a guideline, not a requirement. I used to have a Hydrasport bass boat that was right at 17'. It was rated from the factory for a 150, and had a Evinrude XP150 on it. Now, the same size boats are being sold, and rated for 1/2 the HP. The low end glass Stratos is a perfect example, but there are other boats of similar size with much lower HP ratings than they were in the early 90's. [/QUOTE]
