[QUOTE="gatorglenn, post: 444201, member: 20097"] you are correct. Take my boat , it is rated for 75hp max, but 400lbs transom weight. So in the class of mercury motors. I could put a 115hp on my boat. Because the 75,90 and 115 are all the same motor at 390lbs. But the rating is 75 for price point. The USG formula saids my boat size is rated to a 135hp. But the transom isn’t built for that much weight. I use a motor totter. Because of the height over of the pavement. But if mine had a tote system like Evinrude has. I wouldn’t use one.
