Message: <blockquote data-quote="drxfish" data-source="post: 511926" data-attributes="member: 25361">I was planning to buy a new 1236 grizzly and put a 9.9 hp outboard on it and I see they are only spec'd for a 5 hp?  It is much sturdier than my old Generation III 1236 that I had a Merc 9.9 on, so not sure if there is a good reason for the restriction?  I see lots of guys have 9.9 hp on Tracker Toppers, which are much lighter.  Those are also spec'd for 5hp.Would I be taking an unnecessary risk if I move forward with my plan, or do I have to look for a different jon?  I am set on a 1236 or 1240 to fit it in my townhouse garage.  Figured I would go new as it will likely be my last boat.Thanks for any input!</blockquote>
