[QUOTE="thudpucker, post: 153707, member: 1422"] Caution is the Watchword here. I don't know much about the Chrysler's, why they didn't sell etc. But the boat can handle 20 Hp weight and power. Just don't apply the throttle all at once and try to keep the throttle setting a 15 Mph. Use your GPS and check the throttle position. My 12' with a 9.5 Johnson went 17 Mph without any struggle or damage [ATTACH type="full" alt="01010010.jpg"]15935._xfImport[/ATTACH] Keep an eye on the transom, watching out for stress cracks. Next year you'll know. The HP weight setting is for both stress on the boat and sinking. The boat, newer than 1972 is supposed to float, Gunn'ls up, with the rated load on board. [/QUOTE]
