[QUOTE="SLE, post: 296754, member: 3889"] Well, that's a whole nother debate......is it really any different than buying a 400 Verado and doing a computer upgrade to kickout 450hp? I know you can insure it, and technically speaking boats over 20ft are not regulated by the coast guard for hp, thats purely up to the manufacture. Now whether or not you can get a ticket from the CG or Game and Fish if the rating exceeds the manufacture plate is the real question? and based on how many times I've been stopped in the last 25 years, I can count the chance of getting a ticket on one finger, possibility the middle one, lol. I'd say the 55K price tag on the motor alone is one of the biggest detractors considering it's about $20k more than a 400hp Verado. However, for them rich Canuk's, that's almost 1/2 the price of that sevens marine 557 they hung on one a few years ago.
