[QUOTE="Ranchero50, post: 380137, member: 1523"] What's the first rule of fight club? Read the CG boat builders guide and understand what they are talking about. Performance and control testing is way more important than any sticker. You can even buy the rating stickers now with your choice of data. DNR police have been more than interested in my boat but never asked about the data plate as it is negated by the motor location and steering position. Going from tiller steering to console steering changes the rating. A large part of the restriction is the weight of motor / operator at the transom assisting the sinking effect from doing a throttle chop at speed causing water to wash over the transom. Honestly, 4 stroke engines should be more HP restricted vs. 2 strokes due to the weight difference. [/QUOTE]
