Anyone ever break the rules when it comes to re-power the main engine?
Ive got a 20' Lund Alaskan series which is 2 years old! It's rated up to 125 hp outboard. It currently has 115hp four stroke which is fine. However i had the recent pleasure of riding in a friends 18' Lund Alaskan which is fitted with a 150 four stroke. The difference is remarkable, even tho his is rated for the same size engine as mine, he opted to put a bigger engine on it. The weight difference between the 115 and the 150 is only 80 lbs. Has anyone had any dealings with dealers not wanting to install a bigger engine than what the boats rated for? Warranty or Insurance issues by doing so?
Thanks
