[QUOTE="onthewater102, post: 432943, member: 13702"] Motor rating is not based on the structural integrity of the hull, it's a formula based on the length, width, height, bottom design & steering position - so I wouldn't worry at all about an 8HP in place of a 5hp. That stretch of un-supported hull though is rather long and you should definitely be adding a brace to it regardless of whether you put a floor in or not. Beautiful job on the bow work - having the toys to pull it off is no substitution for quality craftsmanship and you've got both going for you. [/QUOTE]
