Just as an example, in MN the Coast Guard/Manufacturer placard recommendations have the force of law when it comes to "safe hp capacity" and "safe carrying capacity." Take a look at Minnesota Rules, part 6110.1400, and Minnesota Statutes section 86B.311, subdiv. 1.

I for one would be leery of a boat with the wrong placard on it, because if you ever got into a situation where that was an issue (because of an accident, injury, citation etc.) you could end up getting hit even harder.
