I didn’t know they switched to the rating at the prop vs the power head. That gives me more confidence that a newer 50 or even a 40 would works okay on this boat. How much of the engine hp rating on a hull has to do with weight vs the power? I figure if it was weight they would put an engine weight limit since there are a lot of different engines and engine weights to consider. I always assumed it had more to do with the strength of the transom and ability to hold up to the torque the engine is putting on it. It’s probably a combination of both factors.</blockquote>
