[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3162167, member: 15054"] Some of them are rated for a lot of HP. Like 150 and 175 HP how much ya need. My 15 foot closed bow 1975 Bayliner mosquito fiberglass is rated at 85 HP. It has a 50HP on it. I had a deckett deck boat with 95HP Evinrude with 1 weak cylinder that ran 42 MPH with top down. I thought I would get smart and stuck a 125HP mercury on it that engine is much heavier and it would only go 35 MPH. No matter the prop size. It sat much lower in the back. I should have rebuilt the Evinrude . It is nice to be able to smack things under the water.My bayliner is old and thick and it has fallen off the trailer onto a gravel road and just minor scratches. beat onto the rip rap a few times and has went over many logs in the Arkansas river [/QUOTE]
