[QUOTE="fender66, post: 194048, member: 2990"] Depending on where you live (which state) there are different laws. In Missouri, there aren't any power restrictions. Illinois does have them (so I'm told). I would imagine that with a jon that big, you could easily go with at least a 150HP. I'm running a 1756 and push about 160HP (in the form of a jet...engine with prop would be 225HP) on mine. I know it's overkill, but the price for the package was a great deal that I couldn't pass up. Here's a chart that I found that might help: https://edocket.access.gpo.gov/cfr_20...3cfr183.53.pdf I've also loaded a pdf that might be more help. [/QUOTE]
