[QUOTE="JMichael, post: 333265, member: 7544"] You can get sued for selling a hot cup of coffee to go, but I think the point here is that you would be making it easier for someone to "win" a suit if they pointed out that based on mfg's recommendations, you had overpowered your boat. That being said, if those pods supported the extra weight (which it looks like that certainly would) and the transom was solid and attached well at the corners, I'd have to at least try that 25hp. The adventurous side of me would have to take it on at least one ride and then determine if it was too much motor or not. :mrgreen: P.S. And if you decide to keep the 25 on the boat, you might want to consider removing the plate that gives the recommended HP. At least for the time being, that way no one can say that it's only supposed to have XX motor and you knew it cause it's printed right there on the boat. :lol: [/QUOTE]
