[QUOTE="MeanMouth, post: 126128, member: 2460"] Lets do a comparison with my chart and figure it out! * Note - Formula is from U.S. Coast Guard recommendations [b]Example: 14' Flat bottom, 48" transom width, tiller (hand) steering[/b] 14 x 4 = Factor of 56 56 x 0.5 - 15 = 13 Round to nearest multiple of 5 = 15 [color=#BF0000][b]Max HP = 15[/b][/color] [b]Example: 14' V-hull, 48" transom width, tiller (hand) steering[/b] 14 x 4 = Factor of 56 56 x 0.8 - 25 = 19.8 Round to nearest multiple of 5 = 20 [color=#BF0000][b]Max HP = 20[/b][/color] This is a general measurement formula taken from Coast Guard Regs. With new technology and building strategies, a newer boat will generally have a higher max hp rating due to thicker transoms, longer beam widths, etc. For our purpose, my math should be a tie-breaker :wink: [/QUOTE]
