    Default Boat HP rating


    Anybody ever get checked to see if their motor HP was in compliance with the Coast Guard data plate????

    My boat is rated for 130HP. Does anyone build a 130HP outboard right now????

    If I hang a 135 on the back of my rig....who's gonna check it?

    Water Patrol let me know last week that my fish extinguisher isn't Coast Guard approved.
