I was just curious, does any-one know how to calculate what the maximum hp rating for a home made boat would be. I have a 14' aluminum starcraft boat that the id tag on the transom is so beat up that I can not makeout the max hp rating for the boat. I'm guessing it is probably 20 hp. It's an older v bottom utility boat. I have had some tell me that it might be rated for a 25 to 30 hp since it's older and made heavier. I was just curious if there was a formula I could use to figure this out.<br /><br />Thanks, <br />Trp251
