I have an 88 12' smokercraft shallow v that's rated for a 7.5hp max outboard. I have a 9.9 johnson that works great on this boat though. Is this something that would be checked if I were stopped by the authorities? Could I just remove the plate with the rating info or would I get in trouble for not having one? Every other 12' boat I've seen is rated for at least a 10hp outboard. Thanks for your help!
