    What are the dangers of being "over" horsepowered?

    Hey guys, I'm looking at a 16' boat that is rated for a 40 horse engine, this one has a 60 horse on it. I was wondering what dangers/problems could be associated with it having a larger engine than what it's rated for. Thanks, Ted

    the only real draw back would be getting insurance sometimes the insurance companies want insure a boat that is over the advertised max horsepower.

    The other issue is the amount of weight.

    if someone got hurt in a boating accident involving your boat charges might be filed against you for having an overpowered boat
