No plates were ever put on either boat since they were used for pond maintenance. Who knows what horsepower legal rating for each and since there is no serial number can i even get a hull ID and decal Two roads diverged in the woods and I took the one with deep ruts,hills and mud.It may be bumpy but WHAT A RIDE!

Now my bass boat is under powered max on it is 150 which I run. Don’t get me it pushes it along at 62 mph. "We have an opponent in this state that we work every day, 365 days a year, to dominate."

I think it rates for 15hp but you have to reduce for it being hard chines. The ratings go 3, 5, 7.5, 10 and 15 for these size boats. Hard chines a.k.a. flat bottom square chine boat No government employees were harmed in the making of this mess.
