[QUOTE="earl60446, post: 276778, member: 4469"] Looks to me like the same formula I posted above and people say is wrong. Remember this is not an all encompassing formula to determine what [i]YOUR[/i] boat can handle, it is a formula to determine the maximum hp for a boat according to the CG. Not all 14 foot boats that are 4 ft wide are the same. I have seen 13ft boston whalers with 40hp motors on them and they handle it ok. My boat is rated for 60hp, I have a old 48hp on it (with a trim tab btw), my boat is 16.3ft and 7 ft wide but I have seen other boats of the approx same dimensions rated for much more. Tim [/QUOTE]
