all good points .. i guess some of these boats were rated at 225 .. i think someone said that '85 was 200, but not sure.
i agree, if the max for my boat is indeed 200, then going beyond that may not be a good idea .. even for 25 hp.
i have no doubt the boat could handle it, especially if some years were rated for 225, not sure what changes could have been made to the hull for this ... maybe no changes were made.
i would be worried that if something happened, i would be sued by some lawyer stating that since i have 25 hp more, that is what caused the accident.
i am not sure what max hp my boat is rated at.
