[QUOTE="Zum, post: 265050, member: 349"] This question comes up alot,on boating type sites.I guess somes states down your way do check but it's a state by state thing.Some states are pretty strict and will fine you,I'd check with your state regsfrom what I've read.I don't think Coast Guard gives a crap but if your overweight or your vessel seems unsafe,you may get pointed towards shore. I've asked about the insurance issue and if anyone has ever had or heard of anyone being turned down because of overhorse power...havn't got any takers on that one yet. I watch swamp people with their 115 tillers and think thats pretty neat and I know theres 200hp tillers that walleye fishermen use.I'd check with your state regs;up where I'm at,you can use whatever. What really doesn't make any sense to me is why inboards can be whatever hp,in whatever length boat. [/QUOTE]
