[QUOTE="Lowe 2070 CC, post: 280767, member: 9081"] Seems like there is something being lost in the translation with this formula. For example my own situation is: - Lowe 2070 CC: 20' long, 8' beam, 1,110 pound hull weight, rated for a 115. - (20 x 8 x 2) - 90 = 230. So should I really be rated for a 225?? I don't think so (I'm running 50mph now with a 2 stroke 115). My dad runs a 225 on his 22' Ranger glass boat (it pushes 70+ mph). My old 16' Xpress, factory rated for 60hp, (16 x 6 x 2) - 90 = 102. No way I'd try to run a 90 on that boat. There has to be something else factored in there that you're missing. [/QUOTE]
