[QUOTE="reedjj, post: 220154, member: 4585"] My little 1542 had the 25merc on it. That is what it was rated for, and like I said earlier it ran 31-32mph on GPS. By no means was that anywhere near dangerous or irresponsible. I would have felt completely comfortable going 10-15mph faster no problem. I wouldnt have even thought 2x about putting a 40 hp on it if I could have found one at a decent price. That would have been 15hp over what it was rated for, and I bet it would have ran close to 45mph if set up properly. Alumacraft is only 5hp over what its rated for and he's running a 2 stroke which is lighter than the fourstroke by alot! To me that is the perfect fit. I would like to see a video of it running 50+!
