[QUOTE="jeremy0998, post: 286102, member: 10130"] Jets are always listed like that because there is hp loss when going from a prop to a jet. In the instance of a 200/140 jet, if you were to take off the jet boot and put on a prop, the engine would be rated at 200 hp. In PA, the restrictions on your plate only pertain to the hp at the propulsion. Like for my boat, which is a 1760, is rated for a 90 hp motor. So, I could put a 115/80 jet on the back but wouldn't because of the weight factor. You would be suprised how much weight is added to the motor as the hp listing goes up. [/QUOTE]
