Rib Transom Specs

[Bouba]

After all the good advice on here I think I will stick with a 70 - 75 outboard

The thing about manufacturers specs is nobody knows how much thought went into it....they could have computer simulated it or even tank tested it or real world testing....most likely the real reason is they don’t want to take sales away from their next biggest boat in the range....but it doesn’t really matter because the real problem is that once they have written it down it’s as good as set in stone....not just insurance but any criminal investigation after an accident. Everyone here is erring on the cautious...and they are right to do so...and I’m glad you are going to do the same.....and I’m equally sure that not long from now you will own a boat that can take a lot more power...it’s in your nature

I already have a 19 footer with a 200 hp Yamaha V6 2 stroke on the back so I am down powering. To be honest when I hit 46 knots it was a little scary

Not as scared as the other people using the 4 knot canal at the time
