[QUOTE="Ranchero50, post: 353557, member: 1523"] This subject got beat up pretty bad a couple months ago. I'd search for it but the emotional scars are still too fresh. :) Basically the manufacturer plates the hull base on it's as manufactured configuration based off of the handling tests in the coast guards boat builders handbook. If your hull has remote steer, the capacity is higher. O/B jets aren't really addressed in the handbooks so yes, it's up to the officers discretion. My hull as a tiller steer 1448 is rated a 25hp prop. Now as a stretched 1748 with a center console and inboard jet it will handle the 85hp Seadoo engine and pass the handling tests. The officers I've dealt with were always professional and had no problems with my boat. [/QUOTE]
