My boat doesn't have a HIN plate or a spec plate. Title says boat has a max hp of 10. I have seen identical boats, only a few years newer, that have a hp rating of 25. Does anyone know if I can get my hp rating changed?.

Good question I have often wondered the same. I have a 1648 that's rated for a 25 tiller but does not have a rating for remote steering. I added a console and am confident I can run larger than a 25 and have wondered if I could have it inspected and get the max hp raised.

I heard it said on here in the jet forum "if you can hang it run it!" Thats what my new plan! :wink:
 
I have a 1436 jon it's missing the plate. My best guess it's rated for 15hp but I've got a 25hp motor on it. Unless you think someone's going to care I'd do it.
