The V1890 Backtroller w/remote steering is rated for a 140hp motor.

Following the USCG rating system the boat should only be rated for a 80HP motor.

I've always heard that the Warrior system was considered a remote steering setup, and this rating leads me to believe that is right. However, there is no mention of a 25" transom in the USCG formula so maybe having a 25" transom changes things.

Same story with their 17' tiller boat. Rated for a 70HP according to the USCG, but Warrior has it rated at 90HP. The HP that most 18' tiller boats is rated at.

Comparing the Lund or other tiller boats @18' the Warrior is rated for 50 more HP.
