Is there any laws that you know of stating that you can't have a 235 outboard on it?

Can't recall who, but somebody here was just talkin' about havin' a 235...that's a LOT of motor (weight!) for these hulls, but I gotta admit...I'd like to drop the hammer on one just to see what she'd do!!...

It depends on your particular hull..some models are rated for only 200 hp...but I'm pretty sure I've seen others rated for 235...

Going over the stated HP limit won't get you in trouble w/the law so much as your insurance company...they are reluctant to insure an over-powered boat...

What year model V20 do you have and is the ID Plate still readable?...
