Recently i had an offer I could'nt refuse! I brought a sf16ft/5.0m, v shape hull ,all aluminum patriot camp boat, made by starcraft.The boat is set up with a steering wheel along with controls up front. Now the specifications for this boat are, weight- (boat only) 520lbs/235kg, Transom height-20"/51cm,Transom width-67"/170cm, Chine width-61"/170cm,Max people-6,Capacity-1200lbs/544kg,(just to give ya an idea) Now they say the max horse power for this boat is 40hp! BUT here is my question... I have a 1982 mercury 70hp outboard, which personally I dont think its an overly heavy motor, but in this case do you think its wise for this outboard to go on this boat or downsize?
