[QUOTE="jdspringr07, post: 333509, member: 13011"] There's no record of the exact model and I don't have much information with the planets on the boat, but my closest guess (with the weight/passenger capacity tag) is a 1959 Durcraft Sportsman Deluxe. Question for someone -- is the maximum horsepower limit due to the transom in place or is it based on the hull's strength? I think I answered my question here: https://www.tinboats.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=12144. Just to clarify, however, the maximum HP is based off of hull length and transom size? Purely based off measurements: (14 * 4.54 * 2) - 15 (for hand extension control) = 115 HP.. If I were to do a steering boat, then I would put a maximum motor of 40 HP. I need to look up why hand steering vs steering wheel is such a large difference. My assumption is that it is because of all the extra weight with the steering wheel motor? [/QUOTE]
