[QUOTE="zerofivenismo, post: 166872, member: 2631"] I wouldn't worry too much about the 1/2 hp over limit. If a 4hp OB is all you can find in your price range, I'd get it. The thing with bass raider type boats is they are prone to water coming over the front of the pontoons with any decent speed. You just have to compensate with shifting weight to the rear when running the gas motor or don't run WOT. Good luck. Just something to note: The pic I attached is from Pelican's website. Looks like they put a B&S 5hp 4 stroke on a Pelican mini pontoon boat. I could be wrong since pic isn't of the entire boat. [/QUOTE]
