[QUOTE="acabtp, post: 273825, member: 5368"] while that seems to makes perfect sense, the coast guard disagrees. the only things taken under consideration when calculating the maximum power for boats under 20' are the length of the vessel, the width of the transom, and whether or not it has flat bottom/hard chines or a 20"+ transom and remote steering. sturdiness of build, etc. does not enter into it. the formula is designed to keep people from putting too [b]heavy [/b]of a motor on a small boat.
