[QUOTE="mbullen, post: 514665, member: 24594"] For what it's worth, HP Capacity and Weight Capacity are two different calculations. HP capacity is based on boat dimensions and construction. I have 14ft boats that are rated everywhere between 12hp and 40hp. Weight capacity is based on displacement. It includes your motor, fuel, gear, and people. Balance is up to you. If you choose a heavier motor, and since you can't move it's position, you will need to adjust the other variables and their positions in the boat. [/QUOTE]
