Is the insurance company that smart? Would you even insure a 1996? I`m telling you my 1999 17' was a tank and did fine with a sixty but you could run up to 90 no problem. The boats ride great but they are heavy and why take a chance on the .01% chance anybody will every even know the motor is too big including your insurance co.
No way your plate has two ratings.
I've owned a few boats that listed 2 different hp ratings and see them on alot of newer rigs now. As mentioned earlier, a whale-tail may not be the worst idea either. (just be careful in reverse) When you boil it all down, if it floats and starts then it is a good day. |
