[QUOTE="CarlF, post: 176849, member: 1159"] Dont want to rain on your parade, but this topic has come up on here and many other sites before. Be careful: I don't know about where you live, but here in Alabama, I can tell you that if our Marine police or wardens see a 50hp motor on a 14' jonboat, you're gonna get stopped. And if you get stopped with an over-powered boat, you are going to get a ticket. And its about $250.00 total with court cost. If you have an accident, your insurance will most likely not cover you. Worse yet, someone is injured, you're gonna be held liable. IMO, you need a bigger boat if you need that much HP. [/QUOTE]
