[QUOTE="bassboy1, post: 69673, member: 55"] Yes. It goes by dimensions. The boat will hold a heck of a lot more than it is rated for. The US Coast Guard has a website with a calculator that you use the length, beam, and transom height, as well as whether or not it is a hard chine/soft chine. It figures that a hull of a certain type, with a certain dimension, will be safe with a certain HP. However, your boat won't fall apart even with a 35 or 40. I run a 1542 with a 40 (modern 35) tiller. [/QUOTE]
