0 kwkfsh Posted June 4, 2003 Share Posted June 4, 2003 The best reinforcement would be to get aboat rated for 8 hp. I am not trying to rain on your parade, but running a boat with hp over the rating plate is a fools game and should you ever have a mishap this will become obvious to you in very short order. If you do have a mishap you will in the eyes of law enforcement and insurance companies be held negligent since you have 166% more hp than the boat is rated for.
